Introduction/Background GRANULOSA TUMOR OF THE OVARY: ABOUT A CASE AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE

Abstract Granulosa cell tumors of the ovary are rare neoplasias. They are characterized by the high frequency of recurrences and metastases which can occur several years after the initial treatment. Their diagnosis is anatomopathological based essentially on morphological data.There are two types: the adult type, which is the most common, and the juvenile type.We report an observation emphasizing its clinical, paraclinical, therapeutic and prognostic particularities.
