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.
