Only 0.1 percent of all ovarian      tumors and 4-5 percent of GCTs occur in children. The most common      presentation of these tumors in children is precocious puberty. We      report a 6 years old girl with isosexual precocity, presented as premature      thelarche and vaginal bleeding. Ultrasonography of pelvis showed a      ypoechoic solid mass of left ovary.Microscopic features of the resected      mass were characteristic of juvenile GCT. Although in most of girls with      precocious puberty, the etiology is idiopathic, important causes, such as      ovarian tumors must be considered.KEYWORDS: Granulosa Cell Tumor, Puberty, Children.</Abstract></Article></ArticleSet>
