Recurrent granulosa cell tumor of the ovary 37 years after initial diagnosis: a case report and review of the literature.
Granulosa cell tumors of the ovary (GCTs) are uncommon neoplasms that are characterized by late recurrence and high survival rates. A case of recurrent GCT presenting 37 years after initial diagnosis is reported with a review of the literature. This case illustrates an example of a very late recurrence and emphasizes the importance of the extended follow-up required for these patients.
