ABSTRACT

We describe a case of juvenile ovarian tumor of granulose cells. Its initial manifestation was an isosexual precocious puberty, in a girl aged 3 years, of a rapid and progressive evolution, associated to a palpable hypogastric mass. The hormonal assessment showed estradiol, high; 17aOH-progesterona, 13,44ng/ml, inhibited FSH, the same as LH, normal alpha fetoprotein. The imaging examination confirmed a tumoral mass in the right ovary. We extirpated the right ovary tumor of nearly 10-12 cm, solid, well delimitated with a granulose surface, together with the tube involved in the process. The histopathologic examination showed a juvenile tumor of granulose cells. After the surgical treatment the patient has evolved satisfactorily, not showing symptoms of metastasis. The hormonal dosages were found in the normal range.
