“…Such unilocular or multilocular AGCT may be difficult to distinguish from nonneoplastic cysts radiologically and in cytologic preparations. 30 They are also more frequently associated with androgenic than estrogenic effects, although there were no obvious hormonal influences in the current case. 31 Recently, it has been shown that most AGCTs exhibit a somatic mutation in the FOXL2 gene, and this may have both diagnostic and therapeutic implications.…”

Gynecological oncologists frequently request intraoperative assessment of ovarian or adnexal masses because the provisional pathological diagnosis is used to guide surgical management. Frozen section has been used most widely in this context, but, as in other anatomic sites, this technique has well-recognized limitations. Cytologic preparations such as scrape smears or imprints can be made easily from tumor specimens and without the requirement of expert technical assistance. They offer the potential for wider tumor sampling and optimize cellular detail without artifacts related to tissue freezing. The case presented herein illustrates the complementary value of cytologic preparations as an adjunct to diagnosis in the interpretation of an ovarian tumor exhibiting a small cell morphologic pattern.

“…In luteinized tumour or a lipid follicle, tumour cells are characterized by a diffuse location, or in the form of groups of different size and shape. A favourable prognosis and good long-term treatment results are achieved in early diagnosis and timely adequate treatment, as in all oncological diseases [2,3,4,5].…”

Ovarian granulosa cell tumours (OGCT) are non-epithelial neoplasms of the ovaries and belong to the group of granulosa-stromal tumours. The most likely source of these tumours’ development is granulosis of the primordial follicles of the ovary as a result of hormonal imbalance. The aim of the study is to represent a clinical observation of acute intestinal obstruction caused by a giant ovarian granulosa cell macrofollicular tumour. A woman, aged 52 years, medical history № 2579, was admitted to the surgical department of Communal Non-Profit Enterprise (CNPE) City Clinical Hospital (CCH) № 1 in Ivano-Frankivsk as an urgent patient with complaints of nausea, vomiting, delayed passage of flatus and defecation, general malaise, abdominal distention. During the laboratory and instrumental examination, a giant tumour of the abdominal cavity was revealed; it has led to the compression of internal organs and the development of small- and large-intestinal obstruction. The operation was performed: middle-median laparoscopy, removal of a giant cyst of the right ovary. Complete hysterectomy with appendages, drainage of the abdominal cavity were also performed. During the operation, a giant tumour with dimensions of 65x70x50 cm, of dense but elastic consistency, pale-pink in color, with multiple chambers of different diameters filled with cloudy, yellow liquid was revealed. The removed uterus with appendages and a large omentum were also given for pathological examination. Pathohistological examination results included: 15824-8- granulosa-cell ovarian tumour; 15815-7- uterus - plethora; 15818-20-ovary - white bodies, fallopian tube - chronic salpingitis; 15812-4- omentum - focal hemorrhages. The postoperative period was uneventful, the patient was referred to a gynecologist-oncologist for consultation and treatment.

FNA of CAGCT of ovary can be a challenging diagnosis as classic cytologic features may not be present and can be confused with benign follicular cyst especially when the ultrasound study favor benign cystic lesion. Rarely this tumor may show prominent papillary component and can be confused for a more clinically aggressive tumor such as papillary serous carcinoma. Diagn.
