Granulosa- and theca-cell tumors. Incidence and occurrence of second primary tumors.
An analysis of 936 women with granulosa- and theca-cell tumors reported to the Swedish Cancer Registry between 1958 and 1972 showed crude annual incidence rates for these lesions of 0.72 and 0.74, respectively, pre 100 000 of the female population, unchanged during the period. The age-specific incidence rates, both groups taken together, increased almost linearly from 35 to 69 years. The women displayed an increased risk of developing endometrial carcinoma and malignant lymphoma, possibly also breast, colon and thyroid carcinoma.
