Pulmonary multiple metastases of ovarian granulosa cell tumor 15 years after initial diagnosis

Abstract

We report a case of multiple pulmonary metastases occurring 15 years after an ovarian granulosa cell tumor was initially diagnosed. A 62-year-old woman undergoing left salpingo-oophorectomy for a granulosa cell tumor of the left ovary 15 years earlier presented with abnormal chest shadows. Computed tomography of the chest confirmed the presence of 3 well-defined nodular lesions, and Computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis revealed a 3.5 × 2.5 cm partially solid, cystic pelvic mass. Left thoracotomy was conducted and tumors diagnosed as pulmonary metastases of a granulosa cell tumor. The pelvic mass was resected and infracolic omentectomy then conducted with total hysterectomy and right salpingo-oophorectomy including the adherent rectal segment The pelvic mass proved to be a granulosa cell tumor. Adjuvant combination chemotherapy was started every 3 weeks and the woman has remained disease-free for 9 months.
