This case of ovarian granulosa cell tumor is characterized by massive ascites and its early recurrence. It aimed for reviewingthe diagnosis and management of granulosa cell tumor from the reported literature. A 13?year?old Asian female waspresented with abdominal distension and massive ascites. Pathologic report was a juvenile granulosa cell tumor of the ovary,FIGO stage 1A. The patient treated with pelviscopic right salpingo?oophorectomy. After eighteen months follow up, recurrencewas detected. Granulosa cell tumors have known diagnostic features on cytology and image studies. However those featureswere not helpful in this case.
A 48-year-old woman with hypernasality symptoms and discomfort in the right maxillary area was diagnosed with cystic lesions at the pterygoid process and linguoposterior mandible area. Cyst enucleation was performed through a transantral approach with an optical navigation system. A bony window on the anterior sinus wall was created, and an optical navigation system was used to locate the cystic lesions. After the cystic mass was removed, the bony window was repositioned with prebent plates. Both cystic lesions were diagnosed as postoperative maxillary cysts, and no other complications were observed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
