Management challenges of ovarian adult-type granulosa cell tumors at a tertiary facility in resource-limited setting: A case series of three patients and review of the current literature

Adult granulosa cell tumors are rare, low-grade malignant neoplasms of the ovarian sex-cord stromal origin. These tumors are notable for their potential to recur even years after initial treatment. Consequently, regular follow-up with clinical examinations and tumor marker assessments is recommended. While chemotherapy can provide palliative benefits and manage recurrence, surgery remains the cornerstone of treatment, as illustrated in our case report.

Abstract

Adult granulosa cell tumors are rare, low-grade malignant neoplasms of the ovarian sex-cord stromal origin. These tumors are notable for their potential to recur even years after initial treatment. Consequently, regular follow-up with clinical examinations and tumor marker assessments is recommended. While chemotherapy can provide palliative benefits and manage recurrence, surgery remains the cornerstone of treatment, as illustrated in our case report.
