Granulosa cell tumor picture
Granulosa cell tumor is almost exclusively an ovarian tumor. Rare cases
of granulosa cell tumor have been reported involving the testes.
The granulosa cell tumor of the ovary is classified as a sex-cord stromal tumor by
pathologists. These tumors are the most common ovarian tumors which produce estrogen,
leading to symptoms and signs of estrogen excess such as endometrial hyperplasia.
Occasionally, these tumors may produce androgens leading to virilization. These tumors all
have malignant potential and cases of recurrence or metastases 20-30 years after initial
diagnoses have been described.
This shows a picture of a Granulosa cell tumor.
