Abstract
Ovarian granulosa cell tumor is a relatively rare tumor that accounts for 2-5% of malignant ovarian tumors. This tumor progresses slowly and may recur late in life. A 70-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a left secondary pneumothorax due to metastatic lung tumors of granulosa cell tumor. Reports of secondary pneumothorax due to granulosa cell tumor are rare. Thoracoscopic suturing and pleurodesis using talc were effective in the treatment of this pneumothorax. We experienced a rare case of secondary pneumothorax due to multiple pulmonary metastases of granulosa cell tumor. It should be noted that pulmonary metastasis of granulosa cell tumor can lead to secondary pneumothorax.
