A Report on Chemotheraphy Experience of Recurrent Sex Cord Tumor with Annular Tubules ( SCTAT ).

Abstract

Sex cord tumor with annular tubules (SCTAT) is an unusual ovarian neoplasm. The standard treatment for recurrent SCTAT was not established. This tumor was considered as a tumor with low-grade malignancy. A case of recurrent ovarian sex cord tumor with annular tubules in a 24-year old female with Turner`s syndrome was reported. The recurrence and metastasis were diagnosed accidentally through the operation of a palpable neck mass in the department of ENT in our hospital. Retroperitoneal lymphatic metastasis was thought to an important pathway of spread. Persistent amenorrhea, pelvic mass, and para-aortic masses were important clinical features. The patient was treated with combination chemotherapy of three cycles. The regimen consisted of bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin.
