Pathogenic and therapeutic particularities in recurrent ovarian granulosa cell tumors

Abstract

Ovarian granulosa cell tumors represent a rare histopathological subtype of ovarian malignancies which are usually diagnosed in early stages of the disease and have a favorable prognosis. However, in certain cases recurrence might occur even if long disease free survival periods are encountered. The aim of the current paper is to discuss the patterns of spread in this histopathological subtype as well as the most important therapeutic strategies in cases diagnosed with ovarian granulosa cell tumors recurrence.
