differential diagnosis a need when cystic profile lesions are found in the pancreas (1,2). And of course intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas must be carefully assessed in the differential diagnosis of such lesions. For every finding that is cystic in nature a first step is always to tell tumors, whether benign or malignant, from non-neoplastic conditions. To consider a cysti...

BACKGROUND Appendiceal mucinous adenocarcinoma is an extremely rare disease in clinical practice. Here, we report a case of unprecedented size that occupied the entire abdomen of a man. CASE PRESENTATION A 49-year-old Chinese Han man presented with symptoms of abdominal distension. During a computed tomography imaging examination, a cystic-solid mass that occupied his entire abdominal cavity ...

OBJECTIVE Although pancreatic cancer has an extremely high case fatality rate, little is known about differences in mortality by histologic types. We examined median survival and risk of mortality for endocrine pancreatic tumors and two types of exocrine tumors, adenocarcinomas, and mucinous tumors. METHOD This analysis included 35,276 pancreatic cancer cases reported to the nine population-b...

pected to be a mucinous cystic adenocarcinoma. We performed en bloc distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy. The macroscopic appearance was consistent with mucinous cystic neoplasm ( fig. 3 ). Microscopy showed epithelium composed of mucin-secreting cells and a dense cellular ovarian-type stroma ( fig. 4 ). Adenocarcinoma was A 41-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for evaluation of an a...

Glomus tumors are relatively uncommon neoplasms arising from modified smooth muscle cells that are normally found in specialized arteriovenous shunts in acral sites, especially the fingertips. This distribution reflects their function because the arteriovenous anastomoses of these areas, also known as the SucquetHoyer canals, are involved in temperature regulation. Sucquet-Hoyer canals are line...

Epithelial ovarian tumors are common in adult women, but rare in children. Especially mucinous ovarian cystadenoma is extremely rare, with only 16 cases in premenarchal girls reported to date. We present a case of 12-year-old premenarchal girl with symptoms of lower abdominal distension. CT showed a large multilocular tumor spreading throughout the entire abdominal cavity from the right upper q...

BACKGROUND Primary mucinous carcinoma of the thyroid gland is a rare disease; only 6 cases of primary mucinous carcinoma of the thyroid have been previously reported. Primary mucinous carcinoma of the thyroid gland with incomplete tumor resection tends to be associated with a poor prognosis, resulting in death within a few months. An early and appropriate diagnosis may contribute to improvement...

Male breast carcinoma is an uncommon neoplasm, accounting for 0.6% of all breast carcinomas. Invasive ductal carcinoma of no special type is the most common type of male breast carcinoma, and mucinous carcinoma occurring in the male breast is extremely rare. In the present study, we report a case of mucinous carcinoma of the male breast and discuss the clinicopathological features of this type ...

The goals of the study were to determine what percentage of neoplasms with a bronchioloalveolar (BAC) component were considered pure BAC by current World Health Organization (WHO) criteria. Next, we wanted to determine the number of mucinous BACs using histochemical staining with Alcian Blue PAS. Finally, we aimed to elucidate by immunohistochemistry the thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) f...

Incidence of ovarian malignancy in children and adolescents is 1 to 1.5% with non-epithelial tumors being the most common type. Ovarian mucinous commonly seen third sixth decade, are rarely adolescents. Timely diagnosis management important save patient’s life fertility. We presenting an interesting case a 16-year-old girl atypical borderline tumor.
