Both mucinous cystadenoma of the appendix and intestinal schistosomiasis are rare lesions. We report a rare case of simultaneous giant mucinous cystadenoma of the appendix and intestinal schistosomiasis. A 64-year-old man from China presented with a one-year history of pain in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen. There were no other pertinent historical findings, other than schistosomiasis....

Two cases of mucinous cystadenoma of the appendix successfully treated by laparoscopy are reported. An 81-year-old woman with lower right back pain was diagnosed with mucinous cystadenoma of the appendix or appendiceal carcinoma and underwent elective laparoscopic surgery. The other case involved a 70-year-old man with hematochezia who was diagnosed with mucinous cystadenoma. He also underwent ...

We report here on a case of mucinous adenocarcinoma that probably originated in the renal pelvis of a horseshoe kidney. A 61-year-old woman presented with a palpable mass in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen, and this mass had been present for several months. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a left renal pelvic tumor in the horseshoe kidney. Grossly, a 10×9×8 cm unilocular cystic mass fil...

Pseudomyxoma peritonei is only rarely seen in conjunction with primary ovarian tumors. It has been suggested that only ruptured mucinous tumors arising in ovarian mature cystic teratomas can result in this clinical picture. We describe a case of a late invasive recurrence of a mucinous intestinal-type borderline ovarian tumor arising from a mature teratoma after complete surgical debulking. Bor...

Ovarian carcinoid tumor is a rare neoplasm that may appear as a solid mass or often combined with teratomas or mucinous tumors. We report 2 cases associated with mucinous cystadenomas and describe their magnetic resonance imaging characteristics. On T(2)-weighted images, the tumors appeared as multilocular cystic masses with hypointense solid components as a result of abundant fibrous stroma in...

We present a case of primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the prostate. A 55-year-old male with no previous history of malignancy presented to our hospital with difficult defecation and anus distention; on magnetic resonance imaging scan of the pelvis, we found a prostate tumor. A transrectal ultrasound-guided needle biopsy confirmed the diagnosis. The patient underwent radical prostatectomy. Pri...

INTRODUCTION Mucinous carcinoma is a variant of invasive breast carcinomas that accounts for 2% of them and has a better prognosis in contrast to the non-specific invasive carcinoma. They regularly are positive for estrogen and progesterone receptors and, generally, they do not overexpress HER2. When HER2 is positive, the first line treatment is trastuzumab; although the resistance is 52-89% fo...
