Adult Granulosa Cell Tumor of the Testis: A case report and review of the literature

Abstract

Adult Granulosa Cell Tumor of the Testis (AGCTT) is a rare sex-cord stromal tumor. About 73 cases have been previously reported in the literature. We report a case of AGCTT in a 64 years old male, located in the left testis. We performed left radical inguinal orchiectomy. A sagittal section of orchiectomy specimen showed a solid yellowish-white mass measuring 1cm of long axis. On microscopic examination, we noted a well-limited tumor proliferation of solid architecture. The proliferation was made up of cells with scant cytoplasm and incised oval nuclei in a fibrous stroma. Rare Call-Exner bodies were noted.
