Abstract

Granulosa cell tumors of the ovary constitute 2-5% of all ovarian malignancies and juvenile subtypes of granulosa cell tumors constitute 5% of the granulosa cell tumors. We usually face with juvenile granulosa cell tumor in the early stages of puberty and in young women. Disease course is better with the diagnosis in early stages but it shows aggressive behavior when diagnosed at an advanced stage. We present 23 years old case with stage 1 juvenile granulosa cell tumor that have a recurrence in the second months of operation.
