Granulosa cell tumour
Granulosa cell tumours are tumours that arise from granulosa cells in the ovaries and testicles. They are estrogen-secreting tumours and present as large, complex, masses in affected . These tumours are part of the sex cord–gonadal stromal tumour or non- group of tumours. Although granulosa cells normally occur only in the ovary, granulosa cell tumours occur both in ovaries and testes. These tumours generally should be considered and treated in the same way as other malignant tumours. granulosa cell tumours have two forms, juvenile and adult, both of which are usually characterized by indolent growth, and therefore have high recovery rates. The staging system for these tumours is the same as for epithelial tumours, and most present as stage I. The peak age at which they occur is 50–55 years, but they may occur at any age.
