A four years old cat was presented to Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynaecology with complaints of weakness, inappetency, vomiting and estrus signs although it was spayed. Blood tests, radiography and ultrasonography revealed abdominal mass and uterine stump which were then removed surgically. Multilobular mass was defined as solid granulosa cell tumor (GCT). Increase of estrogen (E2) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) values were detected on the 10th postoperative day. On the 40th postoperative day, the cat was brought to Internal Medicine Clinic with the complaints of weakness, inappetency and cachexia. Anemia, leucocytosis, uremia, hyperglycemia, sensitiveness and pain in the right abdomen were determined. A tumor was detected in the liver by radiography and ultrasonography and was suspected to be GCT metastasis. Despite medical therapy, the cat died after four months. In conclusion; retained ovarian tissue after erroneous ovariohysterectomy may cause, regular estrus signs and GCT development. Even if GCTs are removed by surgical approach, they have metastatic potential that deteriorates the prognosis. Evaluating IGF-1 and E2 in the short postoperative term are beneficial for determining the metastatic potential of GCTs.

Abstract BackgroundAs a rare ovarian stromal tumor, the juvenile ovarian granulosa cell tumor (JGCT) is mainly seen in premenstrual and young women. It associates with high malignancy and recurrence rate, and early diagnosis and treatment could improve prognosis. Most cases are unilateral solid-cystic or solid masses, while unilocular cystic masses are rarely seen. As cystic ovarian tumors are often misdiagnosed as benign cystic lesions or functional cysts, cystic JGCT should not be overlooked.Case presentationWe report this special case of a 10-year-old female patient. It’s the first reported JGCT with completely inconsistent bilateral imaging manifestations, including an extremely rare unilocular cystic JGCT. A large solid-cystic JGCT appeared in her left ovary, and left adnexal resection was performed. A unilocular cyst occurred in the right ovary two years later. It was with a regular shape and smooth inner wall, mimicking a benign cyst. Since the patient was young and had the desire to preserve the right ovary, follow-up was initially recommended. However, the cyst size increased rapidly and exploratory laparotomy was finally performed. Pathology showed a unilocular cystic JGCT.ConclusionsAs cystic masses in young patients are easily misdiagnosed as benign or physiologic lesions, this case emphasizes the importance of postoperative follow-up for JGCTs. Exploratory laparotomy of persistent cystic lesions should be considered when necessary.

Granulosa cell tumor is a rare type of ovarian tumor, which arises from sex cord stroma. Histologically this tumor has two types and is named according to the common age group they affect; adult granulosa cell tumor (AGCT) and juvenile granulosa cell tumor. AGCT constitutes 2-5% of all ovarian cancers. Mostly present in women of age > 40 years. In this case report, we discussed the role of conservative surgery in young adult reported with granulosa cell tumor. An unmarried teenage girl presented at a private tertiary care hospital with abdominal pain and abdominal distention. Radiological examinations suggested a mass originating from the right ovary for which laparotomy was done and a ruptured cyst was found near the right ovary with a mass adherent to surrounding peritoneal viscera. Right ovarian cystectomy along with omental biopsy and left ovarian biopsy was performed. Rare presentation of this tumor will help clinicians to not categorize the type histologically with the age group.

A 25-year-old woman presented with backache of 2 weeks duration and had 45-60 days menstrual cycle. On transvaginal sonography (TVS), her left adnexa showed a heterogenous solid mass of 5.3×4.2 cm and moderate vascularity on color doppler. Serum inhibin B was raised to 2249 pg/ml. MRI showed 5.5× 4.5 cm solid mass in the left ovary with lobulated margins suggestive of sex cord-stromal/ germ cell tumor. Laparoscopy showed an enlarged left ovary with intact surface. Left adnexectomy with staging biopsies and infracolic omentectomy was performed. Histopathology showed adult granulosa cell tumor with intact ovarian capsule. One-month post-surgery, inhibin B level was 44 pg/ml. She wishes to conceive after six months follow-up.

The differential diagnosis for precocious puberty in a young female includes peripheral causes. This case report documents a rare cause of isosexual precocious puberty, a juvenile granulosa cell tumour of the ovary–and a brief literature review. A one year-old baby girl presented with mass abdomen, vaginal discharge and rapid onset of pubertal development. She underwent an exploratory laparotomy for tumour resection. Pathology reported a juvenile granulosa cell tumour of the ovary. Early stage granulosa cell tumor surgically treated has good prognosis. Adjuvant chemotherapy is not indicated in this setting.
