Popis: Background: Treatment of advanced stages and recurrent ovarian granulosa cell tumors, has not been established yet. The effectiveness of radiation therapy could not be proven. Systemic chemotherapy has shown promising results, but with severe side effects and high incidence of relapse. Case Reports: We report of one patient with advanced stage III C, and one patient with bulky recurrent ovarian granulosa cell tumors. Both patients were treated with a combination of surgical debulking, Continuous Intraoperative Intraperitoneal Hyperthermic Chemoperfusion (CIIPHCP) with Cisplatin and one of them with adjuvant systemic chemotherapy. Conclusion: CIIPHCP appears to offer a promising procedure in addition to surgical debulking and systemic chemotherapy for treatment of advanced or recurrent ovarian granulosa cell tumors. The present report is the first concerning the question of adding Intraoperative Hyperthermic Chemoperfusion in the treatment of advanced or recurrent ovarian granulosa cell tumors.
