Abstract
Granulosa cell tumor is a rare type of ovarian tumor, which arises from sex cord stroma. Histologically this
tumor has two types and is named according to the common age group they affect; adult granulosa cell
tumor (AGCT) and juvenile granulosa cell tumor. AGCT constitutes 2-5% of all ovarian cancers. Mostly
present in women of age > 40 years. In this case report, we discussed the role of conservative surgery in
young adult reported with granulosa cell tumor. An unmarried teenage girl presented at a private tertiary
care hospital with abdominal pain and abdominal distention. Radiological examinations suggested a mass
originating from the right ovary for which laparotomy was done and a ruptured cyst was found near the right
ovary with a mass adherent to surrounding peritoneal viscera. Right ovarian cystectomy along with omental
biopsy and left ovarian biopsy was performed. Rare presentation of this tumor will help clinicians to not
categorize the type histologically with the age group.
