    This paper is devoted to study symmetry properties for positive solutions of semilinear elliptic equations \(\Delta u+f(u)=0\) with mixed boundary condition in a spherical sector \(\Sigma(\alpha,R)\), where \(\alpha\), the amplitude of the sector is between \(\pi\) and \(2\pi\). Under certain natural conditions on \(f(u)\), the author proves that all positive solutions are radially symmetric about the origin.
