Abstract

Granulosa cell tumours (GCTs) can be either juvenile or adult type, and more commonly occur in the ovaries. Adult-type GCTs of the testis (AGCTT) are very rare and only 46 cases have previously been reported. We report here on a 48-year-old Filipino man with a left testicular AGCTT, which measured 1.2 × 1.2 × 1.0 cm. He underwent radical orchidectomy with postoperative surveillance for 1 year, which included computed tomography with oral intravenous contrast and clinical examinations, which have been unremarkable. The previously reported AGCTTs were briefly reviewed.

Keywords: AGCTT, adult-type GCT of the testis; Adult-type granulosa cell tumour; CD, cluster of differentiation; Cord-stromal; GCT, granulosa cell tumour; Granulosa; T2WI, T2 weighted imaging; Testis; Tumour.
