STK11 Adnexal Tumor: Exploring the Association With Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome and its Distinction From Morphologic Mimickers.

Published in: Advances in anatomic pathology (2024)
STK11 adnexal tumor is a novel malignant neoplasm of uncertain histogenesis frequently arising in a para-adnexal location and associated with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome in ∼50% of patients. Its broad morphologic spectrum and nonspecific immunohistochemical profile has resulted in misclassification in the past as a variety of other neoplasms including those of wolffian, sex cord-stromal, mesothelial, and epithelial derivation. This review focuses on the spectrum of adnexal neoplasms that may develop in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, with particular emphasis on STK11 adnexal tumor and its differential diagnosis.
