Abstract: Granulosa cell tumours (GCTs) are relatively rare sex cord stromal tumours of the ovary. Most of them are hormone-producing,and can be initially diagnosed in early stage. Molecular biology markers are useful in diagnosis and follow-up. Surgery is an important treatment,while chemotherapy,radiotherapy,hormone therapy and molecular-targeted therapy also play important roles. With appropriate treatment,a better survival rate can be achieved against other ovarian malignancies.
