Juvenile granulosa cell tumor (JGCT) is an uncommon gonadal stromal tumor that occurs rarely in the testis. We report a newborn boy with bilateral intra-abdominal JGCT presenting with abdominal distention and respiratory distress at birth. He was taken to the operating room emergently, and 2 large masses connected by gubernacula to the inguinal canals were resected. Associated abnormalities included a constitutional chromosome 4 abnormality, polymicrogyria, and renal cysts. This report describes a rare presentation of JGCT with abdominal compression and expands the literature to include bilateral testicular involvement. Additionally, it is the 1st report of JGCT associated with a chromosome 4 abnormality, highlighting a genetic region that may be important in JGCT development.

Background: Juvenile granulosa cell tumor (JGCT) of the ovary is a rare tumor with distinct clinicopathological and hormonal features primarily affecting young women and children. We conducted a complex clinicopathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular analysis of five cases of JGCT.
Methods: The immunohistochemical examination was performed with 32 markers, including markers that have not been previously investigated.

Background: Granulosa cell tumors (GCTs) are rare neoplasia that account for less than 5 % of all the ovarian tumors. Juvenile GCT histotype is generally observed in adolescent and young women, representing a very rare disease, so only a paucity of data are present in literature. The aim of this study is to analyse the oncologic and fertility outcome in our case series of juvenile GCTs.

Introduction: Granulosa cell tumor (GCT) accounts for 3-5 % of all ovarian malignancies, being the most common among those originating from the sex cords and ovarian stroma. GCTs can be divided into juvenile and adult types, with the latter occurring mostly in perimenopausal women. These hormonally active tumors present diverse clinical manifestations, primarily related to elevated estrogen levels.
