Abstract :
The sex cord-like variant of endometrioid carcinoma is a rare subtype with a close
histological resemblance to the sex cord-stromal tumor of the ovaries, in particular the
Sertoli cell tumor. However, very few cases of the granulosa cell tumor-like variant have
been reported since it is commonly misdiagnosed as a granulose cell tumor. Immunohistochemistry
is useful in the diagnosis of these tumors as they are typically negative
for inhibin alpha. We herein describe the histological and immunohistochemical
features of a rare case of granulosa cell tumor-like variant of endometrioid carcinoma
of the ovary with extensive areas of hyalinization, calcification and osseous metaplasia
in a 45-year-old female patient.
