DICER1-related Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor and rhabdomyosarcoma: An evolving disease with a challenging clinical course and treatment: A case report

DICER1 syndrome is a rare genetic disorder predisposing young patients to multiple types of cancer. A 17-yearold woman with a history of mixed Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor and juvenile granulosa cell tumor of the left ovary at age 14 presented with a pelvic mass. She underwent fertility preservation cytoreductive surgery and the pathology showed high-grade sarcoma with rhabdomyosarcomatous differentiation. After the surgery, patient received one cycle of chemotherapy but her disease continued to progress. She therefore underwent total hysterectomy, right salpingo-oophorectomy and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy followed by consolidation chemotherapy. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed no evidence of the disease before and after the completion of her chemotherapy. Genetic testing confirmed the DICER1 pathogenic variant. However, she presented again with a recurrence of the disease 6 months later and ultimately died of the disease 11 months after the surgery. Our case demonstrates the challenging management of this rare disease in a young patient and the need for new and effective treatments.
