Picmonic

Granulosa cell tumors, also known as granulosa-theca cell tumors, are potentially malignant yellow-white masses arising from granulosa cells. Tumors are often estrogen-producing, increasing risk of endometrial carcinoma. Unopposed excess estrogen exposure in younger patients can result in precocious puberty, while adults may experience abnormal uterine bleeding. Call-Exner bodies are hallmark cellular characteristics.
