Abstract:

Adult-type granulosa cell tumors occur most often in postmenopausal women and are hormonally active. The article presents a clinical observation of an adult-type giant granulosa cell tumor of the ovary in combination with endometrial hyperplasia in a postmenopausal woman. The patient repeatedly underwent curettage of the uterine cavity because of uterine bleeding in postmenopausal women, and adult-type granulosa cell tumor was discovered much later. Therefore, it should be noted that with recurrent vaginal bleeding accompanied by endometrial hyperplasia it is necessary to take into account the probability of the rare hormonally active ovarian tumors presence.
