    Abstract:
    Although granulosa cell tumor combined with a dermoid cyst in the same ovary is rarely seen, adult granulosa cell tumor of the ovary with contralateral teratoma has not been reported to date. In this report we present the first case in the English language literature of a ruptured granulosa cell tumor of the left ovary and mature cystic teratoma of the right ovary presenting as acute abdominal syndrome. The patient underwent total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral-ophorectomy, and multiple pelvic lymph node sampling and infracolic omentectomy. She received combined chemotherapy consisting of bleomycin, etoposide. and cisplatin for six cycles. Subsequent follow-up and workups have revealed no evidence of disease. At 19 months after initial diagnosis, she is disease-free.
