Management of advanced juvenile granulosa cell tumor of the ovary

Abstract

Juvenile granulosa cell tumor of the ovary occurs most frequently in young women and children. Ten percent of cases present during pregnancy. The majority of tumors are in FIGO Stage I and have a favorable prognosis. The prognosis of higher stage tumors, however, is generally less favorable. We report the long-term, disease-free survival of a patient with FIGO Stage III juvenile granulosa cell tumor of the ovary. We believe this to be the first report of a successful pregnancy following "MAC" chemotherapy for this particular malignancy.
