Abstract
To describe an unusual and infrequent type of ovarian carcinoma with specific defining characteristics. We present the case of a woman with granulosa cell tumor and review the literature published on this entity to date. The behavior of this tumor in relation to other ovarian carcinomas, as well as its clinical management and treatment, are analyzed. Granulosa cell tumor of the ovary is a distinct clinicopathological entity from adenocarcinoma and mucinous tumor. Its treatment is not based on parameters that are determinant in other cancers of the ovary. Its outcome and biological behavior are more favorable.
