Abstract
Although the management of ovarian tumours is a common occurrence worldwide, management of a large granulosa cell tumour (GCT) of the ovary with concurrent endometrial cancer is relatively uncommon. We report a successful management of a case of large granulosa cell tumour with endometrial cancer in District General Hospital, Nuwara Eliya. Key words: granulosa cell tumour; computed tomography; laparotomy. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4038/sljog.v33i1.4001 SLJOG 2011; 33(1): 28-29
Highlights
Granulosa cell tumours are uncommon sex cord stromal tumours[1] of the ovary, which characteristically have a malignant potential, and tendency for local spread and high recurrence rate.We report a case of a 63-year old menopausal woman, who was successfully treated for a granulosa cell tumour (GCT) with endometrial cancer at DGH Nuwara Eliya.Case A 63-year old postmenopausal woman, presented to the gynaecology unit with abdominal distention and chronic abdominal pain for 4 months

Summary
Granulosa cell tumours are uncommon sex cord stromal tumours[1] of the ovary, which characteristically have a malignant potential, and tendency for local spread and high recurrence rate.We report a case of a 63-year old menopausal woman, who was successfully treated for a GCT with endometrial cancer at DGH Nuwara Eliya.Case A 63-year old postmenopausal woman, presented to the gynaecology unit with abdominal distention and chronic abdominal pain for 4 months. The management of ovarian tumours is a common occurrence worldwide, management of a large granulosa cell tumour (GCT) of the ovary with concurrent endometrial cancer is relatively uncommon. We report a successful management of a case of large granulosa cell tumour with endometrial cancer in District General Hospital, Nuwara Eliya. It revealed a large ovarian mass with the possibility of pyometron, without significant evidence to suggest local infiltration or metastatic spread (Figure 1).
