Abstract : Granulosa cell tumors of the ovary originate from sex cord-stromal cells. Complete surgical resection remains the cornerstone of therapeutic management. Chemotherapy is commonly indicated in cases of localized tumors with a high risk of recurrence, as well as in advanced or recurrent disease.

Keywords : Cancer, Granulosa Tumor Chemotherapy, Ovary Cancer, Surgery.
