Mucinous cystadenomas (MCAs) of the liver (also called hepatic biliary cystadenomas) are rare tumors that comprise about 5% of cystic masses of the liver in adults. These slow-growing lesions most commonly occur in middle-aged individuals, with a female sex predominance. Herein, we present a MCA in a 6-year-old male, one of only very few such cases described in the pediatric literature to date....

A 70-year-old Japanese male with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and chronic renal failure presented with abdominal distention. His family history was remarkable for ADPKD in his mother, a brother and a sister. He had been receiving hemodialysis for 10 years and his general health had otherwise been maintained. Computed tomography (CT) in the axial and coronal views showed ...

Abstract Background Pancreatic serous cystadenoma (SCA) is a benign, cystic lesion with an indolent growth pattern. Complications such as spontaneous hemorrhage or malignant transformation from SCA are extremely rare. Our case report describes unusual presentation of patient previously diagnosed SCA, made unique by the presence three separate neoplasms in final specimen. Case A 74-year-old male...

The Authors describe the clinical case of a seventeen-year-old girl who presented with abdominalgia, fever, nausea and vomiting. During surgery it proved necessary to remove not only the appendix but also a voluminous mucinous cystadenoma of the ovary. The authors take this observation as a starting point for a description of the pathophysiological and clinical findings of these neoplasms.

Cystadenoma, a common benign tumor derived from glandular tissue, generally occurs in the appendix, ovaries, kidney, or pancreas. While rare in the oral and maxillofacial region, they do sometimes occur in the parotid or minor salivary glands. We report a case of cystadenoma arising in the upper lip region. The patient was a 37-year-old woman referred to our hospital with a painless mass on the...

Cystic tumors of the pancreas are rare neoplasms. They are more frequently identified given the improvements in imaging techniques. Serous cystadenomas are the most common among cystic neoplasms of the pancreas. In this case report we present a patient who was incidentally found to have a cystic mass in the pancreas during an abdominal imaging done for unrelated reasons and was diagnosed as ser...

Macrocystic serous cystadenoma is an unusual and essentially benign pancreatic tumor. Ages of reported cases are usually 60 years and over, with a mean age of 54 years. Herein, we report on a 26-year-old man who presented with upper abdominal pain. A cystic lesion in the mid-portion of the pancreas was revealed by abdominal computed tomography, and a pseudocyst was suspected. A distal pancreate...

Surface epithelial tumors account for more than 90% of ovarian tumors, of which serous tumors comprise 46%. Sex-cord stromal tumors constitute 8% of ovarian tumors, fibroma being the commonest, comprising 70% in this category. Combination of different types of tumors can occur in ovary with most common being Mucinous cystadenoma and Brenner tumour. We report a case of a very rare combination of...
