BACKGROUND: The potential role of bevacizumab in the treatment of ovarian granulosa-cell tumors has not been evaluated. CASE: An 82 year old woman with refractory ovarian granulosa-cell carcinoma was treated with bevacizumab with symptomatic relief of ascites. CONCLUSION: Bevacizumab may have a role in the management of malignant ascites in the patient with refractory granulosa-cell carcinoma of the ovary which should be confirmed in a larger series of well selected patients.
