Resumo

T HE origin of tumors of the granuIosa and theta ceIIs of the ovary is stiII a matter of debate. It is not even certain that these tumors are two distinct entities. For that reason, it seems wise to pubIish any cases that may serve to clear up the problem. The case under discussion was a fibromatous tumor of the right ovary. The tumor extract contained a substance whose reaction was simiIar bioIogicaIIy to estrogen, that is, it caused an enIargement of the uterus in the mouse test.
