Context: Childhood Sex Cord–Stromal Tumors / Childhood Juvenile Granulosa Cell Tumors / Treatment of childhood juvenile granulosa cell tumors

As many as 90% of children with juvenile granulosa cell tumors will have low-stage disease (stage I) by FIGO criteria. These patients are usually curable with unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy alone. In one series, 15 of 17 patients underwent fertility-sparing surgery, and only two patients received adjuvant chemotherapy. No recurrences were reported.[19]
