  • Title: A late recurring and easily forgotten tumor: ovarian granulosa cell tumor.
    Author: Chen YC, Chang LC, Soong RS.
    Journal: World J Surg Oncol; 2012 May 16; 10():85. PubMed ID: 22591557.
    Abstract:
    Ovarian granulosa cell tumor (GCT) is a malignant tumor with slow progression. The recurrence of granulosa cell tumor often happens after 5 years, leading to a 'forgotten tumor' by the patient. We present the case of a 64-year-old woman with a presentation of left flank pain. An initial computed tomography scan revealed a single tumor with multiple adjacent organ invasions. Surgical intervention was prescribed and the pathological results revealed a metastatic granulosa cell tumor. We also review the literature for the follow-up and further management of this tumor.
