Female Wolffian adnexal tumor (WAT) is a rare neoplasm arising from the remnants of the mesonephric duct and <100 cases have been reported globally. The present case report describes a 73-year-old female patient with WAT in the left ovary which, to the best of our knowledge, is the largest benign WAT tumor to be reported. In addition, the present case report reviewed previous studies on the clinical characteristics and therapy for WAT and the surgery methods for female WAT of ovary were summarized. WATs are typically benign; however, a number factors may increase the risk of malignancy.

Background: Wolffian adnexal tumor is a rare type of tumor that was first discovered and reported by Karim-inejad in 1973. Wolffian adnexal tumor lacks specific clinical manifestations and its histological morphology is similar to various other tumors, making it highly prone to misdiagnosis. To enhance our understanding of this disease, we hereby report a case of Wolffian adnexal tumor diagnosed and treated in our hospital.

Article Synopsis
- A 33-year-old woman was initially found to have a benign tumor of suspected Wolffian origin after surgery for a tubal lesion.
- One year later, she was diagnosed with stage IV fallopian tube cancer, which spread to multiple organs and caused significant fluid buildup in her abdomen.
- Following tumor reduction surgery, she responded positively to a combination treatment involving platinum drugs, docetaxel, letrozole, antihormonal therapy, and targeted therapy with bevacizumab.
STK11 Adnexal Tumor: Exploring the Association With Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome and its Distinction From Morphologic Mimickers.

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.
