Background The mucinous component is a special histologic factor in gastric adenocarcinoma. The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic significance of mucinous component in gastric adenocarcinoma according to proportion. Patients and methods Candidate patients with gastric adenocarcinoma were given radical D2 gastrectomies from September 2008 to May 2015 in our division. Clinicopathol...

Extrarenal rhabdoid tumors (ERRTs) are extremely rare neoplasms; of these, colorectal ERRTs are the most rare, and only nine cases have been previously described in the English language literature. The current study reports the pathological features of a case of poorly differentiated cecal adenocarcinoma with prominent rhabdoid feature, which was combined with mucinous cystadenoma of the append...

BACKGROUND Mucins are heavily O-glycosylated proteins where the glycosylation has been shown to play an important role in cancer. Normal epithelial ovarian cells do not express secreted mucins, but their abnormal expression has previously been described in epithelial ovarian cancer and may relate to tumor formation and progression. The cyst fluids were shown to be a rich source for acidic glyco...

Primary mucinous carcinoid of the ovary is an extremely rare neoplasm with less than thirty cases reported in the English literature. The clinical behavior and pathologic features have not been well characterized. Here we report a case of a 42-year-old female who underwent laparoscopic salpingooophorectomy for a left ovarian mass. The ovary was received for histopathologic evaluation in multipl...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the actual management of mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN) of the pancreas. A systematic review was performed in December 2009 by consulting PubMed MEDLINE for publications and matching the key words "pancreatic mucinous cystic neoplasm", "pancreatic mucinous cystic tumor", "pancreatic mucinous cystic mass", "pancreatic cyst" and "pancreatic cystic neop...

BACKGROUND Cystic pancreatic lesions are more and more often found. Malignant risk ranges from nil to more than 60%. A precise diagnosis is required to adapt surveillance or therapeutic strategy. METHODS We tried to identify the most difficult differential diagnoses encountered in a tertiary center of pancreatology and to guide the reader as how to reach the correct strategy and diagnosis in ...

BACKGROUND Mucinous cystic neoplasm of the liver with extrahepatic growth is a rare benign epithelial neoplasm of the biliary system that presents with a mass effect or is incidentally found on imaging. The tumor affects mostly the common hepatic duct, which is difficult to diagnose preoperatively by radiology, endoscopy, or cystic fluid analysis. Endoscopic ultrasound is a noninvasive tool for...

BACKGROUND: Ovine pulmonary adenocarcinoma (OPA) is a worldwide contagious bronchioalveolar carcinoma caused by infection of a beta retrovirus in sheep and less in goat. Neoplastic proliferation of type II pneumocytes and clara cells, produce papillary to acinar tumoral pattern with infiltration of macrophages, lymphocytes and plasma cells and interstitial fibrosis tissue. OBJECTIVES: This stud...

Low grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms can spread to the peritoneum as pseudomyxoma peritonei even though they are not obviously invasive in the appendix. During the past several decades, several problematic issues surrounding this enigmatic tumor have been debated in the literature, including appropriate nomenclature for the appendiceal tumors and their peritoneal metastases. In this article...
