Procaspase-Activating Compound-1 Synergizes with TRAIL to Induce Apoptosis in Established Granulosa Cell Tumor Cell Line (KGN) and Explanted Patient Granulosa Cell Tumor Cells In Vitro

In Vitro Cell Cycle Synchronization of Sheep Granulosa Cells

Purpose: To investigate the effect of different methods of synchronization on sheep granulosa cell cycle. Materials and Methods: Granulosa cells were aspirated from ovarian follicles and plated in a DMEM medium containing 15% FBS. Upon 70-80% confluency, the medium of the primarycultured as well as the passaged-5 cells were replaced with the medium containing either 0.5% FBS for 24, 48 and 72 h...

Progesterone Producing Granulosa Cell Tumor: a Case Report

The granulosa cell tumor is the most common malignant functioning tumor of the ovary. When functional, granulosa tumor almost always are estrogenic although rare tumors are androgenic. Progesterone producing by these tumors has only been reported twice. We report a case of granulosa cell tumor in a 7 years old girl with precocious puberty who represent the first case of progesterone producing b...

[Granulosa cell tumor and pregnancy].

Ovary tumor and pregnancy is a rare and serious condition with an unexpected outcome as it can interfere with the course of pregnancy. The authors report a case of a large juvenile granulosa cell tumor diagnosed at 33 weeks of pregnancy during a routine ultrasonographic examination. Pain, nausea and vomiting at the 35th week brought the suspicion of torsion.
