Summary

Adult granulosa-cell tumor (GCT) is a rare ovarian cancer known for slow growth and late recurrence. This study highlights a GCT case recurring 25 years post-surgery, emphasizing the need for long-term surveillance.

Background:

Adult granulosa-cell tumor (GCT) is an uncommon ovarian malignancy.
GCTs exhibit slow growth and a propensity for late recurrence.
Prognostic factors for GCT remain incompletely understood.

Observation:

This report details a rare case of adult granulosa-cell tumor of the ovary.
The tumor recurred 25 years after the initial surgical intervention.
Clinical course and histopathology were reviewed, alongside a literature search.

Findings:

Late recurrence of ovarian GCT is possible, even decades after primary treatment.
The long interval between initial surgery and recurrence underscores the indolent nature of some GCTs.

This case adds to the limited data on extremely late recurrences of GCT.

Implications:

Extended long-term follow-up is crucial for patients with adult granulosa-cell tumors.
Understanding the behavior of GCTs requires continued investigation into prognostic markers.
This case emphasizes the importance of vigilant monitoring for recurrence in ovarian GCT survivors.
