Granulosa cell tumor of the ovary

D.N. Oprescu, C. Herghelegiu, A. Moldoveanu


Rezumat: Granulosa cell tumor of the ovary (TCG) in female adults is often a stromal neoplasm, hormone based, which is characterized by its capacity to produce sexual steroids, such as estrogen. TCGs are characterized by a long-term development, as well as the possibility of recurrence. The common symptoms are limited to the level of estradiol, vaginal bleeding and early puberty. TCG is a vascularized tumor which may lead to abdominal pain, hemoperitoneum and low blood pressure, often suggestive of or mistaken for an extrauterine pregnancy in young females. The surgery is recommended in order to set the histologic, staging notation system and tumor-removal coordinates. The most important factor to prognosticate a possible recurrence of the tumor is the cancer staging. The post-procedure treatment for patients who present a high risk has not been subject to random prospective clinical studies, because they are difficult to run due to the rarity of the tumor. Yet, chemotherapy or radiotherapy sometimes have led to long-term survival for the patients with high risk, without any symptoms of the disease. Due to a quite imminent recurrence, long-term investigations are imperative.
Cuvinte cheie: neoplasm, tumor markers, postprocedure treatment, recurrence.
