Article Title: Vascular resection and reconstruction in recurrent granulosa cell tumor
Abstract: Introduction: Oncovascular surgery is a rare but important component of radical surgery in gynecologic cancer, requiring interdisciplinary collaboration and coordination. In this case report, we review the case of a patient with recurrent granulosa cell tumor who underwent extensive oncovascular resection and reconstruction. Case presentation: Our patient was initially diagnosed with a stage IC granulosa cell tumor in 1989 following a left salpingo—oophorectomy secondary to ovarian cyst rupture. She subsequently had multiple recurrences requiring 8 surgical procedures from 1989 to 2022. Her most recent recurrence was notable for a 6 x 8 cm left pelvic tumor invading into the inferior vena cava (IVC), encasing the aorta, left common and external iliac vessels, and involving the left ureter. In a combined case with gynecologic surgery, vascular surgery, and urology, extensive oncovascular resection was performed, including an en bloc resection of the recurrent granulosa cell tumor, aorta, bilateral common and left external iliac arteries and veins, with aortal and IVC reconstruction. Despite a complicated postoperative course, she recovered well, received no further oncologic treatment, and remains on surveillance without evidence of disease 26 months later. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of oncovascular surgery involving aortic and IVC resection and reconstruction for recurrent granulosa cell tumor. © 2024 The Authors
