Zusammenfassung:Unilocular and multilocular cystic granulosa cell tumors have been reported in the literature but are rare disease processes.2,3 CASE REPORT A 57-year-old woman presented with lower abdominal pain and abdominal distention for 3 months duration. A large number of androgenic granulosa cell tumors present as unilocular or multilocular cysts.6 The association with androgen production and the formation of unilocular cystic type of granulosa cell tumor remains an enigma.7 Sonographically and based on CT images, five morphological patterns were categorized including multilocular cystic, thick-walled unilocular cystic, thin-walled unilocular cystic, homogenously solid, and heterogeneously solid masses. [...]the diagnosis of unilocular cystic granulosa cell tumors is based on the histological examination with a monotonous population of round to oval cells with Call-Exner bodies, nuclear grooves, low mitotic activity, infrequent diagnostic serum markers, and immunohistochemical profile.
