Granulosa cell tumours (or granulosa-theca cell tumours or folliculoma) are tumours that arise from granulosa cells. These tumours are part of the sex cord-gonadal stromal tumour or non-epithelial group of tumours. Although granulosa cells normally occur only in the ovary, granulosa cell tumours occur in both ovaries and testicles (see Ovarian cancer and Testicular cancer). These tumours should be considered malignant and treated in the same way as other malignant tumours of ovary. The ovarian disease has two forms, juvenile and adult, both characterized by indolent growth,[1] and therefore has high recovery rates.[2][3] The staging system for these tumours is the same as for epithelial tumours and most present as stage I.[4] The peak age at which they occur is 50–55 years, but they may occur at any age.

Juvenile granulosa cell tumour is a similar but distinct rare tumour. It too occurs in both the ovary and testis. In the testis it is extremely rare, and has not been reported to be malignant.[5] Although this tumour usually occurs in children (hence its name), it has been reported in adults.[6]

Presentation

Estrogens are produced by functioning tumours, and the clinical presentation depends on the patient's age and sex.

  • Female
    • If the patient is postmenopausal, she usually presents with abnormal uterine bleeding, and in some cases hemoperitoneum.
    • If the patient is of reproductive age, she would present with menometrorrhagia. However, in some cases she may stop ovulating altogether.
    • If the patient has not undergone puberty, early onset of puberty may be seen.
    • these tumors tend to have late recurrencies ( even after 30 years )

Genetics

Adult Granulosa Cell Tumors

Using next generation DNA sequencing, it was discovered that 97% of adult granulosa cell tumours contain an identical mutation in the FOXL2 gene  . This is a somatic mutation, meaning it is not usually transmitted to descendants. Mutation c.402C>G in the sequence of FOXL2 leads to the amino acid substitution p. C134W. It is believed that this mutation may be the cause of granulosa cell tumours.

Juvenile Granulosa Cell Tumors

Two recent studies show that the enzyme AKT1 is involved in juvenile granulosa cell tumors. In-frame duplications in the pleckstrin-homology domain of the protein were found in more than 60% of juvenile granulosa cell tumors occurring in girls under 15 years of age. The tumors without duplications carried point mutations affecting highly conserved residues. The mutated proteins carrying the duplications displayed a non-wild-type subcellular distribution, with a marked enrichment at the plasma membrane. This led to a striking degree of AKT1 activation demonstrated by a strong phosphorylation level and corroborated by reporter assays.[7]

Analysis by RNA-Seq pinpointed a series of differentially expressed genes, involved in cytokine and hormone signaling and cell division-related processes. Further analyses pointed to a possible dedifferentiation process and suggested that most of the transcriptomic dysregulations might be mediated by a limited set of transcription factors perturbed by AKT1 activation. These results incriminate somatic mutations of AKT1 as major probably driver events in the pathogenesis of juvenile granulosa cell tumors.[8]

Diagnosis

Gross appearance

Tumors vary in size, from tiny spots to large masses, with an average of 10 cm in diameter. Tumors are oval and soft in consistency.

On cut-section, histology reveals reticular, trabecular areas with interstitial haemorrhage and Call-Exner bodies-small cyst like spaces interspersed within a graafian follicle.

Tumor marker

Inhibin, a hormone, has been used as tumor marker for granulosa cell tumor.

Granulosa cell clusters in other species

In the ovaries of aging squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus), clusters of granulosa cells occur that resemble granulosa cell tumours in humans.[9] These appear to be a normal change with age in this species.
