Sex cord tumor with annular tubules (SCTATs) is a relatively rare ovarian neoplasm often having a syndromic association with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS). Other associations described with this rare neoplasm include adenoma malignum of cervix, Turners syndrome, dysgerminoma, gonadoblastoma, endometrial carcinoma, and endometriosis of fallopian tube. We describe for the first time to the best of our literature search the incidental detection of SCTAT coexisting with an endometriotic cyst of ovary. Meticulous histological scanning and awareness is mandatory for detection of such unusual incidental lesions. Non-PJS SCTATs tend to be larger and could be more prone to distant metastasis, warranting subsequent follow-up.
伴环状小管的性索肿瘤(SCTATs)是一种相对罕见的卵巢肿瘤,常与黑斑息肉综合征(PJS)存在综合征关联。与这种罕见肿瘤相关的其他情况包括宫颈恶性腺瘤、特纳综合征、无性细胞瘤、性腺母细胞瘤、子宫内膜癌和输卵管子宫内膜异位症。据我们对文献的最佳检索,我们首次描述了偶然发现的SCTAT与卵巢子宫内膜异位囊肿并存的情况。对于检测此类不寻常的偶然病变,细致的组织学扫描和警惕性是必不可少的。非PJS型SCTAT往往更大,可能更易发生远处转移,因此需要后续随访。
