Objectives:The aim of this study is to share of the 20-year experience of a tertiary center about juvenile granulosa cell tumor (JGCT) and describe clinic manifestations, treatment, and outcome of patients who diagnosed JGCT. Material and methods:Five patients who diagnosed juvenile granulosa cell tumor between 2000 and 2020 were included in the study. The demographics, clinical findings and outcomes were retrospectively evaluated. Of the 5 patients in our study, one was in the premenarcheal girl. The common complaint in all of our patients was abdominal swelling. In preoperative imaging methods, all patients had unilateral adnexal mass and no signs in favor of metastasis. All patients were staged according to FIGO classification for ovarian tumors; 3 of patients had stage IA disease, one of patients had stage IC1 and one of patients had stage IC2. All patients underwent different surgecal procedures which is appropriate for their clinical manifestations. In addition to surgery 2 patients received adjuvant chemotherapy. Results:The median follow-up period of the patients was 60 mounts and recurrence was observed in two patients who were reoperated. We have no patients who died due to this disease. Conclusions:Possible diagnosis of juvenile granulosa cell tumor should be kept in mind in a patient of young age with unilateral adnexal mass with benign features.
