Descriptor English: Granulosa Cell Tumor
Descriptor Spanish: Tumor de Células de la Granulosa
Descriptor tumor de células de la granulosa
Scope note: Neoplasia constituida enteramente por CÉLULAS DE LA GRANULOSA, que se localiza principalmente en el ovario. La forma adulta puede contener algunas CÉLULAS DE LA TECA. Este tumor produce con frecuencia ESTRADIOL e INHIBINA. La exposición a concentraciones excesivas de estrógeno puede dar lugar a otras neoplasias malignas en las mujeres y a precocidad sexual en las niñas prepúberes. Se han descrito tumores de células de la granulosa, muy poco frecuente, en el TESTÍCULO.

Scope note: A neoplasm composed entirely of GRANULOSA CELLS, occurring mostly in the OVARY. In the adult form, it may contain some THECA CELLS. This tumor often produces ESTRADIOL and INHIBIN. The excess estrogen exposure can lead to other malignancies in women and PRECOCIOUS PUBERTY in girls. In rare cases, granulosa cell tumors have been identified in the TESTES.
