ABSTRACT

Um estudo retrospectivo de 23 casos de tumor de células da granulosa do ovário foi realizado. Inicialmente foi feito um estudo imuno-histoquímico empregando anticorpos antiantígeno de membrana epitelial e citoceratina. Nenhum tumor com histologia característica mostrou positividade para estes anticorpos, enquanto três com histologia näo característica apresentaram reaçöes positivas. Estes tumores foram classificados como tumores epiteliais indiferenciados, pois tanto o prognóstico desfavorável como a baixa taza de sobrevida indicaram näo se tratar de tumor de células da granulosa. Os autores prosseguiram o estdo clínico e anatomopatológico somente os casos que confirmaram , pela histologia e imuno-histoquímica, ser tumor de células de granulosa. A dor abdominal foi o sintoma mais frequênte e somente 50 porcento apresentaram sintomas ligados à açäo estrogênica. Características histológicas näo diferiram das járelatadas. Näo se evidenciou o tamanho do tumor como fator prognóstico. Dos 12 casos em que foi realizada avaliaçäo do endométrio, o achado de hiperplasia foi o mais comum. O tratamento cirúrgico foi o de escolha como conduta inicial. O tratamento adjuvante ou complementar foi discutido.

ABSTRACT

Patients with a diagnosis of granulosa cell tumor should be followed carefully for the Rest of their lives. Patients treated with surgery only, develop recurrent cancer. Management of recurrent cancer should be aggressive debulking surgery followed by combination chemotherapy. The first choice of chemotherapy is the [cis-platinum, adriamycin, cyclophosphamide]. Hormonal therapy may play a role in managing recurrent disease but the experience is extremely limited. Recently patients with stage I [A] were treated with aggressive surgery plus chemotherapy and hormonal treatment. Review of the experience at Yarmouk Teaching Hospital provided two additional patients with a confirmed diagnosis of granulosa cell tumor of the ovary whom their treatment has been substituted with hormonal treatment of whom all are alive and disease free except one who died because of failure to follow up the treatment. A review of clinical and morrhage which was found to be a frequent preterminal event in advanced recurrent granulosa cell tumors. We are trying here to use the hormonal treatment as an important drug after surgery and to be continued after chemotherapy is stopped
