title: Ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor: success with salvage therapy.
abstract: A case of metastatic ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor is presented. The patient achieved a complete pathologic response with four courses of cisplatin, vinblastine and bleomycin chemotherapy. Recurrence of the tumor was detected with elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein. After surgical debulking, the recurrence was treated with intra-arterial cisplatin and intravenous etoposide with pelvic radiation therapy followed by intravenous doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide. The patient is alive and disease free 75 months after initial diagnosis, 4 years after salvage therapy.
