Abstract
Granulosa cell tumours (GCT) are rare sex cord stromal tumour, encompassing only 2% of all the ovarian tumours1. Only 0.1% of all ovarian tumours and 4-5% of GCT occur in children. Juvenile GCT(JGCT), a sub- type of ovarian sex cord stromal tumour has a favorable prognosis if diagnosed at an early stage.2 We present a case of a 19 year old female patient; presenting with symptoms of clitoromegaly, irregular menstrual cycles & hirsuitism.
Keywords: Juvenile Granulosa Cell Tumor, ovarian neoplasm, reticulin, sex-cord stromal, rare.
