Abstract
Introduction: Anaplastic variant of juvenile granulosa cell tumor is one of the rarest ovarian malignancies. The aim of this study is to describe a case of anaplastic variant ovarian granulosa cell tumor in a 14-year-old girl with presentation of abnormal uterine bleeding and gradual abdominal enlargement.
Case presentation: The patient at the time of diagnosis with an inhibin A and B more than 500 Pg/ml and ovarian mass of about 30×20×15 cm underwent unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and juvenile granulosa cell tumor was diagnosed with no follow-up. She has referred with ascites, recurrent mass and distance metastasis of liver after 10 months. The patient underwent four courses of BEP (Bleomycin, Etoposide, Cisplatin)and five courses of paclitaxel and carboplatin. Then, she underwent laparotomy for metastasectomy, which was not successful due to the extent of involvement. Eventually, she died six months after the second surgery.
Conclusion: This case report confirms the need for accurate follow-up of patients with juvenile granulosa cell tumor and appropriate justification for the patient and their caregiver to prescribe needed adjuvant therapies to prevent recurrence.
