Abstract/OtherAbstract:
INTRODUCTION:: Granulosa cell tumors (GCTs) are extremely rare tumors and are divided into 2 types: adult (AGCT) and juvenile (JGCT). The JGCTs represent only 5% of all cases. The incidence of ovarian carcinoma diagnosed during pregnancy varies about 0.0179 to 0.11 per 1000 pregnancies. CASE:: A 24-year-old woman at 12 weeks and 3 days of pregnancy was admitted to the authors' hospital due to a pelvic mass. Surgical exploration revealed a smooth, solid, mobile and well-encapsulated left ovarian mass. Histological and immunohistochemical findings led to the diagnosis of a well-differentiated JGCT. Pregnancy continued uncomplicated and she delivered a healthy baby girl at 37 weeks gestation. About 9 months after the original diagnosis, the patient showed no evidence of disease. CONCLUSION:: Treatment options and a review of the literature related to JGCTs are discussed.
