Popis: During a 30-years period seventeen women were correctly diagnosed as having a granulosa cell tumour. Two died of the tumour, while six women died of other causes. No pathological features correlated to prognosis. A conservative surgical approach to preserve fertility is not recommended; of the three fertile women in our group one died of the disease and another one had two relapses within three years. Eleven tumours showed evidence of increased oestradiol production, and this proved useful as a tumour marker. Follow up is rarely performed unless relapse occurs.
