Granulosa Cell Tumor of the Ovary

Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2003
Adult granulosa cell tumor (GCT) of the ovary is oftentimes a hormonally active, stromal cell neoplasm that is distinguished by its ability to secrete sex steroids such as estrogen. Patients may present with vaginal bleeding caused by endometrial hyperplasia or uterine cancer as a result of prolonged exposure to tumor-derived estrogen.

Granulosa cell tumours of the ovary

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 2010
Granulosa cell tumours are rare, potentially malignant sex cord stromal tumours of the ovary. They are unique in their presentation and histological features. Many of them are hormone‐producing and this property helps them to present early unlike other epithelial ovarian cancers.

Inhibin as a Marker for Granulosa-Cell Tumors

New England Journal of Medicine, 1989
Inhibin is a peptide hormone normally produced by ovarian granulosa cells. It reaches a peak of 772 +/- 38 U per liter in the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle and is undetectable in the serum of menopausal women. To determine whether measurements of serum inhibin levels would provide a biochemical marker of the presence or progression of ovarian

Displaced Granulosa Cells in the Fallopian Tube Mistaken for Metastatic Granulosa Cell Tumor

International Journal of Gynecological Pathology, 2013
A 44-yr-old woman underwent a total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy secondary to uterine leiomyomas. Gross examination of the fallopian tubes revealed no masses or lesions; however, 2 small foci of granulosa cells were identified microscopically within one of the fallopian tubes.

Autologous granulosa cell coculture demonstrates zygote suppression of granulosa cell steroidogenesis

Fertility and Sterility, 1996
To determine if embryos can modulate steroid hormone production by luteinized granulosa cells.Granulosa cells obtained from follicular aspirates were cultured alone or in the presence of a two-pronuclear zygote. The production of E2 and P by these cultures was evaluated by RIA.In Vitro Fertilization Unit in an academic research environment.Sixteen ...

Ovarian Stimulation and Granulosa-Cell Tumour

Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1993
Ovarian stimulation in the treatment of infertility is far from physiological because patients and their ovaries are exposed to high concentrations of gonadotropins. Many studies have focused on the two most common side-effects of ovarian stimulation--ie, hyperstimulation and multiple pregnancy. We describe 12 patients in whom granulosa-cell tumour was

Granulosa cell tumour of the ovary

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1964
1. Arare case of luteinising granulosa cell tumour in a child of 9 is recorded, with reference to the relevent literature available. 2. The increasing importance of this tumour is stressed, as well as a few of its clinical peculiarities.

Inhibin as a marker for granulosa cell tumor

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 1992
In order to determine whether serum‐immunoreactive inhibin could constitute a biochemical marker for the presence and progression of ovarian granulosa cell tumors and their metastases, we measured immunoreactive inhibin concentrations in series of serum samples obtained from 8 patients with granulosa cell tumor.

OVARIAN GRANULOSA CELL TUMOR AND ACROMEGALY

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1949
AMENORRHEA is one of the most consistent and usually one of the earliest symptoms of pituitary tumor in women. Menstrual function may return, however, even after a prolonged period of amenorrhea, following surgical removal of the tumor, its shrinkage by roentgen irradiation, or possibly in rare instances following the escape of the expanding tumor from
