Recurrence of Adult Granulosa Cell Tumor in the Greater Omentum 11 Years after Surgery

We report a case of AGCT recurrence in the greater omentum that was resected during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. A patient visited our hospital with right-sided abdominal pain. The CT revealed gallbladder stones, a ureteral stone, and a right abdominal mass. The diagnosis of the abdominal tumor was difficult on the basis of blood biochemical testing, gastrointestinal endoscopy, or image inspection. Although the patient underwen t several previous surgeries and there were no findings of malignancy with positron emission tomography, we chose to resect the tumor for combined diagnosis and treatment during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Intraoperative findings showed that the tumor originated from the greater omentum, and the t umor was diagnosed as AGCT recurrence by pathology. A recurrence of AGCT in the greater omentum is very rare, and laparoscopic surgery was safe and useful for resection, in our case.Case Rep Gastroenterol 2021;15:639 –644
