Adult type granulosa cell tumor of the testis: case report and review of the literature

Zafer Kucukodaci et al. Eurasian J Med. 2008 Apr.

Abstract
in English, Turkish

Testicular granulosa cell tumors are extremely rare in adults. We report a case of a testicular germ cell tumor (GCT) in a 21-year-old man. The tumor was treated successfully with radical orchiectomy, and follow-up computed tomography revealed no evidence of recurrence or metastasis 10 months postoperatively. The clinical and histopathological features, treatment, and prognosis of testicular GCT are reviewed in this manuscript.

Granulosa hücreli tümör, yetişkinlerde oldukça nadir görülür. Biz 21 yaşında granulosa hücreli tümörü bulunan bir olgu sunumunu rapor ettik. Tümör radikal orşiektomi ile başarılı şekilde tedavi edildi, 10 aylık izlemde, bilgisayarlı tomografide nüks veya metastazla uyumlu herhangi bir bulgu izlenmedi. Tümörün klinik ve histopatolojik özellikleri, tedavisi ve prognozunu yeniden gözden geçirdik.
