'''Adult granulosa cell tumour''' is an [[ovarian tumour]]. It is also known as '''granulosa cell tumour'''. It dhould '''not''' be confused with the ''[[granular cell tumour]]''. | |||
Ideally, it should be called ''adult granulosa cell tumour'' to avoid confusion with ''[[juvenile granulosa cell tumour]]''. | |||
==General== | |||
*May secrete estrogen. | |||
**May present with endometrial pathology, e.g. [[endometrial hyperplasia]] ''or'' endometrioid [[endometrial carcinoma]]. | |||
**Occasionally secrete antrogens lead to virilization.<ref name=pmid19062005>{{Cite journal | last1 = Patel | first1 = SS. | last2 = Carrick | first2 = KS. | last3 = Carr | first3 = BR. | title = Virilization persists in a woman with an androgen-secreting granulosa cell tumor. | journal = Fertil Steril | volume = 91 | issue = 3 | pages = 933.e13-5 | month = Mar | year = 2009 | doi = 10.1016/j.fertnstert.2008.10.038 | PMID = 19062005 }}</ref> | |||
Note: | |||
*Normal granulosa cells convert androgen from the theca cells to estrogen and/or progesterone.<ref name=pmid15541573>{{Cite journal | last1 = Havelock | first1 = JC. | last2 = Rainey | first2 = WE. | last3 = Carr | first3 = BR. | title = Ovarian granulosa cell lines. | journal = Mol Cell Endocrinol | volume = 228 | issue = 1-2 | pages = 67-78 | month = Dec | year = 2004 | doi = 10.1016/j.mce.2004.04.018 | PMID = 15541573 }}</ref> | |||
==Gross== | |||
*Classically solid. | |||
==Microscopic== | |||
Features: | |||
* Classic appearance includes gland-like structures filled with acidophilic material (Call-Exner bodies). | |||
* Small cuboidal to polygonal cell in sheets ''or'' strands ''or'' cords. | |||
* Nuclear grooves. | |||
Note: | |||
*There is a "10% rule" -- if less than 10% of a SCST is granulosa cells... it isn't granulosa cell tumour. | |||
*Juvenile variant of GCT has more nuclear pleomorphism. | |||

* [[Urothelial cell carcinoma]] (UCC). | |||
** UCC usually has extensive necrosis. | |||
* [[Brenner tumour]]. | |||
* [[Sertoli cell tumour]]. | |||
* [[Sertoli-Leydig cell tumour]]. | |||
* [[Endometrial stromal sarcoma]]. | |||
