The space marked by a circle in the image is composed of Call Exner bodies
Answer is C.)Granulosa cell tumor
Call–Exner bodies are small eosinophilic fluid-filled spaces between granulosa cells.
- The granulosa cells are usually arranged haphazardly around the space.
- They are pathognomonic for Granulosa cell tumors.
- They are composed of membrane-packaged secretion of granulosa cells.
Granulosa cell tumours (or granulosa-theca cell tumours) are tumours that arise from granulosa cells.
- These tumours are part of the sex cord-gonadal stromal tumour or non-epithelial group of tumours.
- Although granulosa cells normally occur only in the ovary, granulosa cell tumours occur in both ovaries and testicles.
- These tumours should be considered malignant .
