Abstract
Ninety-two cases of ovarian granulosa and theca cell tumours were recorded in the Tayside Gynaecological Tumour Registry during the 30 year period 1948–78. A high follow-up rate was achieved through this centralised registry and exhaustive annual recall. At 20 years after initial treatment patient actuarial survival was 92% for the theca cell tumours and 34% for granulosa cell tumours.
