Question 129 · LEK · Non-epithelial ovarian tumors
“This tumor can develop before puberty but the peak incidence is observed in women of reproductive age. It easily ruptures which may lead to peritoneal signs and symptoms demanding urgent surgery. In postmenopausal women it may cause abnormal bleeding from the reproductive tract. Surgical excision does not guarantee full recovery as this tumor recurrence may be observed as many as 30 years after the initial diagnosis”. The above is a characteristic of:
- A. ovarian cancer.
- B. sarcoma.
- C. hydatidiform mole.
- D. germinoma.
- E. granulosa cell tumor.
Hint
Think of an estrogen-producing sex cord-stromal ovarian tumor known for extremely late recurrences and postmenopausal bleeding.
