%X Adult granulosa cell tumors are rare ovarian malignancies. They are usually stage I tumors and have a relatively good prognosis. Surgery is the mainstay of primary therapy. Recent studies showed that a minimally invasive laparoscopic approach is an option for selected patients with adult granulosa cell tumors. We report the case of a 91-year-old woman with an 18 cm solid adult granulosa cell tumor treated with laparoscopic surgery. The patient complained of pelvic discomfort and was found to have a solid ovarian tumor. The tumor was expected to be an early-stage sex cord-stromal tumor such as a granulosa cell tumor or thecoma because of the pelvic magnetic resonance imaging findings and abnormal hormonal blood test results. She underwent laparoscopic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. We successfully performed laparoscopic surgery in an elderly woman with an 18-cm solid adult granulosa cell tumor without scattering and spillage of the tumor, using a Vagi-Bag. She had no perioperative complications and recovery was rapid. She was doing well and disease-free at 8 months of follow-up
