title: [Early isosexual precocious pseudopuberty revealing a juvenile granulosa cell tumor in a 3-year-old Congolese girl].
abstract: We describe a juvenile granulosa cell tumor expressed by an early pseudopuberty occurring in a 3-year-old black child. Clinically, an endocrine syndrome was associated with a pelvic mass and ascites. Hyperoestrogenia and serum alphafetoprotein level were biologically detected. Histological examination showed typical microscopic features of a granulosa cell tumor. The patient is well four years after surgery. Growth and mental development are normal.
