Fourteen malignant cases of gonadal stromal tumor were found among the cases reported in literature, but the roles of chemotherapy and radiotherapy have not been defined. We treated a malignant case and achieved 98.9 per-cent remission of lung metastases by salvage chemotherapy (cis-platinum + VP-16). A 34 year-old desk-worker, underwent left orchiectomy for testicular tumor on March 20, 1984. Histologic examination showed a malignant gonadal stromal tumor invading into the epididymis. Three course of adjuvant chemotherapy with cis-platinum, vinblastine, and peplomycin (PVP) were performed. However, chest X-ray films 13 months later revealed multiple lung metastases. Although 3 courses of combination chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine, and prednisolone (CHOP) were given, no remission was obtained. However following 4 courses of combination chemotherapy with cis-platinum and VP-16, 98.9 per-cent remission of lung metastases was achieved. Subsequent bilateral residual lung tumors were resected. However, lung metastases recurred 3 months later, and the patient died on February 29, 1988. The autopsy revealed extensive lung, liver and pancreas metastases, but no lymph node metastases.
