Publication Adult Granulosa Cell Tumor of the Ovary Diagnosed after Laparoscopic Salpingoophorectomy(Kathmandu University, 2025) Ansari, SN; Shrestha, E; Kayastha, P; Bista, KBABSTRACT Ovarian malignancies of uncommon variety are seen in 10% of cases of all ovarian tumors. Approximately 5% of such cases are granulosa cell tumor of ovary (GCT). In adolecents, the adult type Granulosa cell tumor (AGCT) is rare and the major concern is fertility preservation. Prognosis of the adult type granulosa cell tumor is favorable after surgery, as most cases present at early stages. We report a case of an 18-year girl who presented to our center with histopathological report of the adult type granulosa cell tumor. She underwent laparoscopic left salpingoophorectomy at another center for a 28.5 X 22.5 cm right adenexal mass. The patient denied completion surgery at our center and remained on follow-up. Patient is doing fine on follow-up to date. In young girls who present with complex adenexal mass, a strong suspicion of rare ovarian malignancies like granulosa cell tumor should be considered. For cases with incomplete surgery but fertility concern granulosa cell tumor should be monitored vigilantly for recurrence.
