Granulosa Cell Tumor, Ovary, Mouse

  • Chapter
Genital System

Part of the book series: Monographs on Pathology of Laboratory Animals ((LABORATORY))

Abstract

Granulosa cell tumors may be up to 3 cm in diameter. Small tumors may only be detected by microscopic examination. Benign tumors are encapsulated, often nodular, solid or cystic, and gray to yellow. Malignent tumors are larger, are pink in color, and frequently contain hemorrhagic cysts. Those malignant tumors composed of multiple small nodules are often contained within the ovarian bursa.
