Adult granulosa‐cell tumor (AGCT) is an uncommon ovarian malignancy. Rarely, hepatic metastasis of this tumor may present a difficult cytologic diagnosis when such a lesion is aspirated. This case report elaborates the cytopathologic features of AGCT in the liver aspirate of a 60‐yr‐old woman. Correlation with histopathology and intraoperative touch‐imprint cytology of the subsequent hepatic resection is also presented. The role of immunoperoxidase studies especially utilizing inhibin is also highlighted. Diagn. Cytopathol. 1998;19:293–297. © 1998 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
