Juvenile granulosa cell tumor of the testis: case report and review of literature.
Juvenile granulosa cell tumor of the testis is an infrequent tumor of the gonadal stroma characteristic of the pediatric age. It usually appears as a scrotal mass and less frequently as an abdominal or inguinal mass. It may be associated with ambiguous genitalia and/or abnormal sex chromosomes. The recommended treatment is orchiectomy alone because local recurrence or metastasis have never been observed. We describe a patient with a juvenile granulosa cell tumor of the testis and review the literature.
