Overview

Abstract Prior case reports have described synchronous ovarian juvenile granulosa cell tumor (JGCT) and enchondromatosis in patients with Ollier disease and Maffucci syndrome. We present a case of a juvenile granulosa cell tumor with an IDH1 somatic mutation identified in the ovarian tissue in a 15-year-old female who presented with abnormal vaginal bleeding, several months of irregular menses, and a large multicystic adnexal mass. Multiple mixed lytic and sclerotic lesions were identified in the bones of the pelvis on imaging studies obtained during the work-up of her abdominal mass. Like previous reports in patients with undiagnosed enchondromatosis, these lesions were presumed to represent skeletal metastases; however, biopsy tissue revealed a hyaline cartilage neoplasm. Subspecialty review of the imaging findings revealed imaging features classic for Ollier disease involving the flat bones of the pelvis. It is important for radiologists to be familiar with the association between enchondromatosis and JGCT. When a female patient with enchondromatosis presents with a large, unilateral, mixed solid-cystic ovarian mass, the diagnosis of JGCT can be suggested. Alternatively, when a patient is diagnosed with JGCT, any skeletal lesions should be scrutinized for imaging features that suggest a hyaline cartilage neoplasm to avoid the misdiagnosis of skeletal metastases in a patient with previously undiagnosed Ollier disease or Maffucci syndrome. To our knowledge, this is the second reported confirmed case of an IDH1 somatic mutation identified in the ovarian tissue of a JGCT in a patient with Ollier disease.
