Granulosa cell tumors belong to the group of stromal and sex cord tumors of\nthe ovary. The adult type is the most common type and usually occurs during\nthe perimenopausal period while the juvenile type mostly affects young\nwomen. This is a report of a 26 years old woman who presented an adult type\nof granulosa cells tumor, with review of the literature. She complained abdominal\npain and distension associated with abundant ascites and underwent a\nright adnexectomy. The pathology examination diagnosed an adult granulosa\ncell tumor. The two entities of granulosa cell tumors (juvenile and adult\ntypes) are distinguished by their characteristic morphological aspects on histological\nexamination allowing diagnostic orientation.
