Adult Granulosa-Cell Tumor (GCT) is an uncommon ovarian malignancy. The clinical course is characterized by slow growth with late recurrence. A variety of clinical and pathologic parameters have previously been evaluated for prognosis with inconclusive results. The aim of this study was to report a case of a granulosa-cell tumor of the ovary that recurred 25 years after first surgery. The clinical course and histopathology of the case were reviewed and a literature search for other reported cases was performed.

To analyze the clinical characteristics, treatments, and prognosis of patients with ovarian juvenile granulosa cell tumor (JGCT). Clinical and pathological data, and follow-up information of 34 patients diagnosed with JGCT from 2000 to 2021 were collected from the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results (SEER) database. A retrospective analysis was conducted to summarize the patients' clinical and pathological characteristics, treatments, and prognosis.

Inflammation disrupts the normal function of granulosa cells (GCs), which leads to ovarian dysfunction and fertility decline. Inflammatory conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), primary ovarian insufficiency (POI), endometriosis, and age-related ovarian decline are often associated with chronic low-grade inflammation. Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is an important precursor of NAD and has gained attention for its potential to modulate cellular metabolism, redox homeostasis, and mitigate inflammation.

Background: Sex cord-stromal cell tumors (SCST) are rare tumors of the ovary. Some of the SCSTs secrete hormone originating from the sex or stromal cell of the ovaries. Previous studies have indicated an increased risk of breast and endometrial cancers.

Background: Adult-type granulosa cell tumors are a rare form of ovarian cancer, 30% of which will recur. Cytoreductive surgery is often performed at the time of a first recurrence, but little is known about the impact of open versus minimally invasive surgical approaches on survival outcomes.
Objective: To examine associations between surgical approach, clinical variables, and survival outcomes among patients with adult-type granulosa cell tumors who underwent cytoreductive surgery at the time of first recurrence.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of miR-361-5p (a tumor suppressor) in regulating granulosa cell function by targeting SLC25A24, a key mitochondrial protein, to uncover potential therapeutic targets for diminished ovarian reserve (DOR).
Methods: This study included patients undergoing assisted reproductive technology treatment at our hospital. Granulosa cells were isolated from follicular fluid, and KGN cells were used for in vitro experiments.
