A rare case of a retroperitoneal granulosa cell tumor (GCT) is presented in a 52-years-old menopausal woman who was referred with an incidental finding of an asymptomatic pelvic mass. Extraovarian granulosa cell tumors are derived from ectopic gonadal tissue which is situated along the embryonal route of the genital ridge. An ultrasound revealed a heterogenic mass with increased vascularity on colour doppler.
Keywords: Extraovarian, Granulosa cell tumor, Retroperitoneal
