Objective:

To report a case of Sertoli cell tumor in a patient with genetically confirmed familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and colonic adenocarcinoma.

Approach:
  • Treatment and Follow-Up: After colectomy, the patient received adjuvant chemotherapy with capecitabine and oxaliplatin, which was well tolerated, although a dose reduction was necessary due to neuropathy.
Key Findings:
  • The patient had a Sertoli cell tumor associated with a pathogenic APC mutation linked to familial adenomatous polyposis.
  • Histopathological examination showed the tumor lacked high-risk features.
  • Beta-catenin expression was noted, indicating potential Wnt pathway activation.
Limitations:
  • The study is based on a single case report, limiting generalizability.
  • CTNNB1 sequencing was not performed on the tumor.
