Papers・Description | Ovarian Sertoli cell tumors (SCTs) are rare sex cord tumors (Oliva et al., 2005). The standard treatment for high-grade SCTs is surgery followed by platinum-based chemotherapy. Although platinum-based chemotherapy is also an option for recurrent SCTs (Sigismondiet al., 2012), there is no established chemotherapy regimen for platinum-resistant recurrent SCTs. The effectiveness of pazopanib in treating epithelial ovarian cancer has recently been reported (du Bois et al., 2014; Pignata et al., 2015). In the case described herein, pazopanib was used to treat the platinum-resistant recurrence of a high-grade Sertoli cell tumor, and the response was evaluated by 18F-fluoro-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET)-computed tomography (CT). Written informed consent to reporting the case was obtained from the patient. |
