Female adnexal malignancies, while relatively uncommon, exhibit high mortality rates due to often-late diagnosis. The serine/threonine kinase 11 (STK11) is a tumor suppressor gene, and its inactivation or mutation often leads to an autosomal dominant genetic disorder known as Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), which is associated with ovarian and cervical cancers. STK11-associated adnexal tumors mostly originate from the ovary, with a low incidence rate but high metastasis rates worldwide. In addition to surgery and chemotherapy, it is necessary to optimize relevant screening policy and targeted therapy. STK11-associated adnexal tumors are difficult to diagnose by histopathology. Although genetic testing involves higher costs, it can serve as a primary preventive measure for high-risk populations with STK11-associated tumors. A more intensive screening program (MISP) is needed for individuals with significant clinical symptoms and a family history of PJS. These tumors may be adequately treated with fertility-sparing surgery in young women with lower malignant potential tumors. Prophylactic adnexectomy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy may offer potential clinical benefits but also pose significant challenges. Therefore, surgery should be undertaken with careful and comprehensive consideration of the patient's age, reproductive history, risk of malignancy, genetic mutation lineages, post-operative complications, and other conditions. Further research is essential to develop better screening, diagnostic, and treatment strategies.
