Granulosa cell tumor of the adult testis

Abstract EN

Granulose cell tumor (GCT) of the adult type is a rare and slow-growing neoplasm of the testis.

This tumor may be associated with endocrine manifestations and resemble classic GCT of the ovary morphologically.

It has a potential for distant metastases or recurrence late in the clinical course.

We report a case of granulose cell tumor of the testis of adult type in a 48 year old male patient physical examination revealed scrotal swelling encroaching on the epididymis and testis.

Ultrasonography showed a left testicular mass.

A left orchiectomy through a left groin incision was performed.

Histological findings were consistent with granulose cell tumor, adult type.
