Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: A sex cord tumor with annular tubules (SCTAT) is a rare but distinctive subtype of sex cord stromal tumor of the ovary. Its clinical features depend on an association with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS). Sctat not associated with PJS often manifests as a unilateral large mass and 20% of such tumors have malignant potential. Most patients with SCTAT are diagnosed at stage I, and metastasis is rare. Recurrence is not rare and ranges from 3 months to 20 years. Case report: We represent a case of 26 years-old woman who had a history of a conservative surgery for Sctat of left ovary. 16 years later, she consulted for retroperitoneal mass that biopsy confirmed as a Sctat recurrence. Discussion and conclusion: Conservative surgery is the adequate treatment for SCTAT as well as it occur in young women to preserve fertility potential. Long-term follow-up is mandatory in such type of tumor because of the high risk of recurrence.
