Transformation of Peripheral Sexual Precocity to Central Sexual Precocity Following Treatment of Granulosa Cell Tumor of the Ovary.
Curēus 2022 Februrary
Juvenile granulosa cell tumor leading to isosexual peripheral precocious puberty is a well-known association. Here, we report a rare case of central precocious puberty secondary to granulosa cell tumor of the ovary. A five-year and five-month-old girl presented with a history of progressive enlargement of bilateral breasts and intermittent vaginal spotting, associated with growth acceleration. Elevated estradiol and suppressed serum follicle-stimulating hormone were found on investigation. Additionally, abdominal and pelvic ultrasonography was suggestive of a right ovarian mass, which proved to be a juvenile granulosa cell tumor on histopathology and immunohistochemistry, leading to a diagnosis of peripheral precocious puberty secondary to granulosa cell tumor of the ovary. One and a half years after resection of the tumor, secondary sexual characteristics progressed with regression of tumor markers, and no mass was noted on ultrasonography, leading to the suspicion of central precocious puberty. Pubertal basal luteinizing hormone (LH) and elevated triptorelin-stimulated LH confirmed the diagnosis of central precocious puberty secondary to granulosa cell tumor of the ovary.
