Juvenile granulosa cell tumor of the testis: prenatal diagnosis and prescrotal approach

Ital J Pediatr. 2012 Dec 6:38:67. doi: 10.1186/1824-7288-38-67.

Abstract

Neonatal testicular tumors are rare and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of newborn scrotal masses. Juvenile granulosa cell tumor (JGCT) accounts for about 5% of all prepubertal testis tumors. As a benign neoplasm, radical orchiectomy is sufficient for treatment. We report a case of a newborn with a prenatal diagnosis of scrotal mass. After surgery, the histological diagnosis was juvenile granulosa cell tumor. To date the patient is healthy.
