  • Title: Granulosa cell tumor of the ovary: extensive late recurrence after initial occult microscopic disease.
    Author: Vesco KK, Carney ME.
    Journal: Obstet Gynecol; 2002 May; 99(5 Pt 2):888-91. PubMed ID: 11975947.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Late recurrence can be extensive with initial, clinically undetectable, microscopic granulosa cell tumor of the ovary. CASE: We describe an 83-year-old patient who presented with extensive recurrent granulosa cell tumor of the ovary 6 years after undergoing abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for atypical endometrial hyperplasia with an incidental microscopic finding of ovarian granulosa cell tumor. CONCLUSION: Patients must be monitored closely after a diagnosis of ovarian granulosa cell tumor, even if the tumor is occult.
