Abstract

We report 2 ovarian neoplasms in women aged 58 and 69 years composed of an admixture of adenosarcoma and a predominant stromal component morphologically and immunohistochemically in keeping with juvenile granulosa cell tumor. As far as we are aware, this association has not been reported previously. We speculate that, in both cases, the juvenile granulosa cell tumor component arose from the adenosarcoma as an unusual form of sarcomatous overgrowth of sex cord elements.<br /> (Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc.
