Juvenile granulosa cell tumor (GCT) of the ovary is a rare neoplasm occurring in premenarchal girls and young women. Juvenile GCT that occurs in premenarchal girls usually produces sexual precocity as a consequence of estrogen secretion. Juvenile GCTs are more likely to grow to a relatively large size with a much smaller likelihood of peritoneal spread, unlike their counterpart, epithelial ovarian neoplasms. We report the radiology and pathology of a patient with juvenile GCT and review the literature of this rare tumor.

A ureteroinguinal hernia was demonstrated on both a Tc-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) renal scan and a computed tomographic scan in an 81-year-old man with suspected urinary tract infection and a prior history of transurethral resection of the prostate. Ureteral hernias are relatively rare, although the ureteroinguinal hernia, found in elderly men on the right side, is the most common type. Ureteral hernias may be asymptomatic but can be present in patients with symptoms of obstructive uropathy.
