Main Article Content
Abstract
OBJECTIVE. The aim of this study is to report a rare case of “extraovariangranulosa cell tumor” arising from the mesentry.
METHODS. A thorough clinical history was taken and patient was subjected to laparotomy. The specimen which was removed on laparotomy was sent for histopathological study and the case was reviewed.
RESULTS. A 17-year-old female presented with pain in the right lower abdomen for 1 week. Per abdominal examination revealed a tender mass of 12 weeks size which was mobile. So, a provisional diagnosis of twisted ovarian cyst was made. When the abdomen was opened, the uterus and bilateral ovaries and fallopian tubes were normally visible. The size of the mesentry was found to be 10 cm x 7 cm cracked. Bilateral ovaries are usually visible and distinguished from the mass. Pathological examination revealed extra-ovarian "granulosa cell tumor".
