ABSTRACT: Juvenile granulosa cell tumour (JGCT) is very uncommon gynaecological malignancy that occurs mostly commonly in less than five years of age. Only 0.1 percent of all ovarian tumours and 4 - 5 percent of granulosa cell tumours present as JGCT. The most common presentation of these tumours in children is precocious puberty. We describe anaesthetic management of a case of JGCT in a 1-year-old girl. The malignancy is assigned to International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics staging system (FIGO stage I). It was treated with complete excision and histological examination confirmed the diagnosis.
