{Abstract}: There are no standard treatment options for metastatic and recurrent non-Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS)-associated sex cord tumor with annular tubules (SCTAT). The effects of chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy are still not well-defined. Herein, we present a case of a metastatic and recurrent non-PJS-associated SCTAT showing high serum estradiol and progesterone concentrations after surgery and chemotherapy. Radiotherapy (50 Gy/25 fractions) triggered a sharp reduction in the sizes of the metastatic and recurrent masses, and estradiol and progesterone concentrations. Accordingly, we consider that radiotherapy might be effective and safe for metastatic and recurrent SCTAT. The roles of radiotherapy in non-PJS SCTAT should be further validated in large-scale prospective clinical trials.
