Debulking hepatectomy for an unusual case of a grade 1 stage 1 granulosa cell tumour of the ovary with late metastases.
Granulosa cell tumours of the ovary are rare. They are considered low-grade malignant cancers and infrequently metastasise to the liver. We present our experience of a case with a grade 1, stage 1 granulosa cell tumour of the ovary that systemically recurred 15 years following surgical resection. The patient went on to have a debulking hepatic resection 21 years following initial surgery despite a 6-year-long palliative diagnosis.
