Juvenile granulosa cell tumor (JGCT), which is one of the sex cord-stromal tumors of the ovary, is a rare malignancy of childhood. Juvenile type is a rare form that accounts for 5% of granulosa cell tumors. Isosexual precocious puberty is the most common presentation in prepubertal girls with juvenile granulosa cell tumors.
