Abstract

Adult granulosa cell tumor of the ovary (AGCT) is a rare malignant ovarian neoplasm, which represents 2% of all ovarian tumors and is the most common sex cord-stromal tumor of the ovary [1–3]. It is also associated with clinical estrogenic manifestations and is usually diagnosed between 50 and 54 years of age [4]. Although it shows malignancy, the AGCT usually demonstrates a better prognosis than the other types of ovarian cancer. In this article, we present a case report of an early AGCT with the features of ultrasound, CT scan, and MRI.

Keywords
