Its malignant potential and the clinical course of the affected patients remain, by and large, controversial. No data exist about the course of metastatic mucinous adenocarcinoma of the prostate. Case Presentation. This case report describes the excellent clinical course of a 68-year-old patient with met...

BACKGROUND As in ulcerative colitis, there is an increased incidence of colorectal carcinoma in Crohn's disease. While carcinoma formation originating from ano-rectal fistulas is generally considered as a rare event there are different publications reporting on mucinous adenocarcinoma formation in association with a neovagina and rectovaginal fistulas. To the best of our knowledge this is the f...

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...

Background: The oncologic behavior of mucinous adenocarcinoma (MA) of colorectal differs from non-mucinous adenocarcinoma (NMA). MA is more advanced at diagnosis and has a poorer prognosis than NMA. We aimed to evaluate prognostic factors and survival rate in patients with MA compared with NMA in Western Iran. Methods: During 2008-2015 in a retrospective study, 83 patients with CRC referred to...

Mucinous tumors of the pancreas are rare and the diagnosis of invasive carcinoma can be a dilemma. While metastatic disease from mucinous cystadenocarcinoma (MCAC) and invasive intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) have been reported, no extraperitoneal mucinous cystic metastatic disease has been described. When metastatic, the overall survival rates for invasive adenocarcinoma, mucin...

Previous studies have shown conflicting results on the prognosis of colorectal mucinous adenocarcinoma. This study compared prognostic characteristics of patients diagnosed with mucinous and non-mucinous adenocarcinomas in a Canadian series. Analyses were based on 165 colorectal mucinous and 1215 non-mucinous adenocarcinoma patients who were registered at the Ottawa Regional Cancer Centre from ...

BACKGROUND The guidelines established by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network do not describe mucinous histology as a clinical factor that should influence the therapeutic algorithm. However, previous studies show conflicting results regarding the prognosis of colorectal mucinous adenocarcinoma. In this study, we described the clinicopathological features of mucinous adenocarcinoma in Japa...

Retroperitoneal teratoma with malignant transformation is a rare condition in adults. Its most common malignant transformation is into a squamous cell carcinoma, but rarely into a mucinous adenocarcinoma. Postoperative treatment of mucinous adenocarcinoma arising from teratomas has not been established due to its rare incidence. Here we present a case of retroperitoneal mucinous adenocarcinoma ...

Pseudomyxoma peritonei is a clinical syndrome characterized by peritoneal dissemination of a mucinous tumor with mucinous ascites. The vast majority of the pseudomyxoma peritonei are associated with mucinous neoplasms of the appendix. We describe a case of pseudomyxoma peritonei associated with mucinous adenocarcinoma of the cervix in a 60-year-old woman. The patient developed low grade mucinou...
