Abstract

Report of a case of adult-type granulosa cell tumor in the ovary diagnosed and treated at Viet Duc University Hospital. Study about clinical and paraclinical characteristics, treatment methods, and prognostic factors.
Clinical case: 60-year-old female patient, diagnosed with an early-stage adult-type granulosa cell tumor of the left ovary, treated with total hysterectomy, two appendages. The patient did not receive adjuvant treatment after surgery. After 2 years of surgery, no recurrence or distant metastasis was recorded.
Conclusion: For adult-type ovarian granulosa cell tumors, early diagnosis and treatment are needed. Radical surgery is an effective method. The disease has a good prognosis, adjuvant treatments are decided based on the stage of the disease, and longer monitoring is needed.
