Juvenile granulosa cell tumor of testis: case report and review of literature

Am J Perinatol. 2008 Apr;25(4):229-31. doi: 10.1055/s-2008-1066878.

Abstract

Juvenile granulosa cell tumor (JGCT) of testis is extremely rare in childhood. It is considered a benign entity because metastasis has never been reported. Testicular-sparing surgery is the recommended treatment. We reported this case in a newborn who presented with unilateral scrotal swelling. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry confirmed JGCT. Follow-up at 6 months after surgery did not show any recurrence. Even though JGCT is very rare in childhood, it is one of the important differentials of newborn scrotal mass.
