Abstract

Ovarian granulosa tumors are very rare; they belong to the group of sex cord and stromal tumors. Their slow evolution in the adult forms which are more frequent (95%) and less aggressive than the much rarer juvenile forms. The exact etiology of these tumors is unknown, but higher than normal estrogen levels are frequently found in women with ovarian granulosa cell tumors. A woman's menstrual status with excess estrogen is related to the presence of certain symptoms such as: early puberty in young women, increase in the size of the abdomen, menstrual cycle disorders in pre menopause or bleeding abnormal uteri in postmenopausal women. The most frequent ultrasound aspect is the solid-cystic aspect and pathological examination remains the diagnostic key. The treatment is essentially surgical, but sometimes associated with complementary therapies such as: chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormone therapy. Recurrences occur late, hence the importance of post-therapeutic follow-up. Some aggressive forms relapse and progress more rapidly, which justifies rigorous therapeutic monitoring. The prognostic factors for recurrence identified in the literature are the FIGO stage, the presence of residual tumor and the tumor size. We report a case of observation and we draw attention to the epidemiological, clinical particularities, as well as the various prognostic factors in order to carry out a better therapeutic management.
