ABSTRACT

Sex cord tumor with annular tubules (SCTAT) is a rare ovarian pathology. It is usually an incidental finding in asymptomatic patients. In about 30% of cases, this tumor is associated with the Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS). This case report describes an incidental finding of SCTAT during an excisional surgery of a giant mucinous cystadenoma in the contralateral ovary. In addition to the finding of a rare tumor in association with a rare syndrome, a literature review on the diseases, their association, and management was performed.

RESUMO

O tumor do cordão sexual com túbulos anulares (TCSTA) é uma patologia ovariana rara. Geralmente é um achado incidental em pacientes assintomáticos. Em cerca de 30% dos casos, esse tumor está associado à síndrome de Peutz-Jeghers (SPJ). Este relato de caso descreve um achado incidental de TCSTA durante uma cirurgia excisional de um cistoadenoma mucinoso gigante no ovário contralateral. Além do achado de um tumor raro associado a uma síndrome rara, foi realizada uma revisão da literatura sobre as doenças, sua associação e manejo.
