Please describe your problem a bit more detailed.

You have sent LTC to your address, so? What is the problem?

Did you send LTC to a BTC address?
Are you missing the corresponding private key to the LTC address?

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? The only way of 'getting your coins back' is to use the correct private key.
You cant reverse the transaction.

You need to explain a little bit more about your problem. To which address you sent your LTC?

Well, you can recover it in a reasonably easy way if you own the wallet where you sent the coins. and the private keys of your BTC address.
Take a look at this video for a recovery process : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umsIy1ks8vg

Where did you get the address from? A bitcoin or Litecoin wallet?
Is it your address?

You cannot cancel cryptocurrency transactions.

Okay, now I understand.
You sent LTC to an address generated from a bitcoin wallet (bitcoin Address)
Litecoin and bitcoin have the same address scheme so the transaction went through.
You say you can cancel it using a key, that should be the private key.
(It should start with 5, K or L)
Download Electrum-LTC from here: https://electrum-ltc.org
Install it, then you can import the private key for the bitcoin Address starting with 3 into it and access your Litecoins.

When you install Electrum-LTC, open it, when it asks what kind of wallet you want to create select "import Litecoin Address or private keys" and click next
Then paste your private key into the field that appears and select next
Then the address starting with 3 should show, and you can now spend your Litecoin.

Litecoin won't accept a private key generated by bitcoin. As far I remember, they are not using the same prefix, and my tests are agreeing with me:

Code:
$ bitcoin-cli getnewaddress "" "p2sh-segwit"
3FKscuaFXRMArBU16qmg1CiJRisXHehL1P

$ bitcoin-cli dumpprivkey 3FKscuaFXRMArBU16qmg1CiJRisXHehL1P

error code: -5
error message:
Invalid private key encoding

Please note that litecoin recently changed their segwit address from a '3' prefix to a 'M' prefix. They remains compatible. You'll find a converter online here (https://litecoin-project.github.io/p2sh-convert/)
My 3FKscuaFXRMArBU16qmg1CiJRisXHehL1P address is MMY1vnzDUYCbegjuCim1pqxhkRTyMj5ERV using it.

It will be required to convert it to a litecoin address.

To achieve this, bitcoin-tool (https://github.com/matja/bitcoin-tool) will really help:

Code:
 $ ./bitcoin-tool --input-type private-key-wif --input-format base58check --input Ky3tnCMTn22dim4PePucHT4k1oAVo1s1SQ5A5QBMdNABmbAT3Q2g --output-type private-key --output-format hex

T4tADweeBQ1EVbhGC2rUVoc7xeoos6suFbyQwCouCLLMHUk8EBVk

This will be the importable key. You'll be able to import it in litcoin, using litecoin core or electrum ltc.

Code:
$ /opt/litecoin/bin/litecoin-cli importprivkey T4tADweeBQ1EVbhGC2rUVoc7xeoos6suFbyQwCouCLLMHUk8EBVk "" false

$  /opt/litecoin/bin/litecoin-cli getaddressesbyaccount ""

T4tADweeBQ1EVbhGC2rUVoc7xeoos6suFbyQwCouCLLMHUk8EBVk

Okay, key was imported, but we have a legacy address. We need the p2sh-segwit one. Just use the "addwitnessaddress" command:

Code:
$ /opt/litecoin/bin/litecoin-cli addwitnessaddress "LUY9d4NHM97NE4QWGrncko9uY5xrv7PRgH"
MMY1vnzDUYCbegjuCim1pqxhkRTyMj5ERV

Hey! That the same address I got earlier !
You should find your coins back with this method. Have fun!

Also, I tried a lot with electrum-ltc, and it doesn't to do the same.

Are you missing the corresponding private key to the LTC address?
However, if you send your currency or Bitcoin, you can not get it back.

You should start reading the thread.

OP clearly stated that he has sent LTC to an address which has been generated by his BTC wallet.
He also said that he does not know how to find/use the corresponding private key to get his funds back.

Anyway, OP seems to have the problem solved. His LTC got transacted about 7 hours ago.

I was watching the thread and wanting to know the solution too
I remember there was a thread about recovering from 3xxx LTC address but I still can't find it yet
also I noticed there is a balance of 0.00001000 BTC in that bitcoin address now

At least the one I posted (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3403069.msg35642878#msg35642878) should work, as I was able to recreate the exact same address after importing the reformatted private key, but it requires to having the full litecoin blockchain downloaded. I wanted to know if they were able to make it work with Electrum, because I tried a few hours yesterday and could not achieve anything.

this is a good lesson to double and even tripple check where are you sending your coins to
lucky you you had the keys to the address
I had a similar situation a couple of years ago,lost 4.2 litecoins this way,sent them to a bitcoin address at an exchange
evidently,support could not retrieve the coins due to them having no access to the client's private keys
so I had to give up trying to escalate it,besides the sum was really low at that time
