full free access: Extraordinarily Prolonged Disease Recurrence in a Granulosa Cell Tumor Patient



Background
Granulosa cell tumors are rare sex cord stromal lesions that comprise approximately 3% of all ovarian neoplasms. The vast majority of granulosa cell tumors are considered indolent but in spite of aggressive management, delayed recurrence is of significant concern.
Conclusion
Granulosa cell tumors are considered to be of low malignant potential but they have the capacity to recur, even several years following initial patient management. This case exemplifies the disease's capacity for prolonged recurrence and further accentuates the significance of long-term follow-up in these patients.
