Background: A unique Case of metachronous contralateral cystadenoma diagnosed 2 years after a juvenile granulosa cell tumor (JGCT) of the ovary is reported. Case: One year after a left ovariectomy for JGCT, a 7 year-old girl was found to have, during her standard ultrasound follow-up, a 18-mm cyst in the right ovary, which was initially considered to be a follicular cyst. Six months later, the mass appeared to be increased and characterized by multivacuolar features, and inhibin A was mildly elevated. A laparoscopic-assisted cystectomy was performed, sparing healthy ovarian tissue around. The pathology report showed a benign mucinous cystadenoma

Abstract

Background: A unique Case of metachronous contralateral cystadenoma diagnosed 2 years after a juvenile granulosa cell tumor (JGCT) of the ovary is reported. Case: One year after a left ovariectomy for JGCT, a 7 year-old girl was found to have, during her standard ultrasound follow-up, a 18-mm cyst in the right ovary, which was initially considered to be a follicular cyst. Six months later, the mass appeared to be increased and characterized by multivacuolar features, and inhibin A was mildly elevated. A laparoscopic-assisted cystectomy was performed, sparing healthy ovarian tissue around. The pathology report showed a benign mucinous cystadenoma
