Acta Paediatr. 1992 Dec;81(12):1061-4. doi: 10.1111/j.1651-2227.1992.tb12178.x.

Abstract

A very rare occurrence of adult granulosa cell tumor of the ovary (not of the juvenile type) causing precocious pseudopuberty in a six-year-old girl is described. An additional feature of interest was that the tumor appeared entirely cystic. To our knowledge, this condition in such a young premenarchal patient has not been reported previously.
