General

  • Uncommon.[1]
  • Reported in males.[2]

May secrete estrogen - can present with:

Prognosis - granulosa cell tumours (adult and juvenile):[1]

  • Low-stage: 97% five year survival.
  • High-stage: 67% five year survival.

Gross

  • Classically solid.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Microcystic spaces.
  • Moderate-to-marked nuclear atypia.
  • Cuboidal-to-polygonal cell in sheets or stands or cords.
  • Basophilic cytoplasm.

Notes:

  • Juvenile variant of GCT has more nuclear pleomorphism.
