Mucinous Cystic Neoplasms of the Pancreas

Southern Medical Journal, 2004
Mucinous cystic neoplasms of the pancreas (MCNP) are rare tumors with presentation and findings that differ in most cases from pancreatic pseudocysts. A simple pancreatic cystic lesion in a younger-aged patient with a history of pancreatitis and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) demonstration of ductal communication with the cyst ...

Cystic, mucin-producing neoplasms of the pancreas: the distinguishing features of mucinous cystic neoplasms and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms

Seminars in Diagnostic Pathology, 2005
Perhaps due to the increasing use of sensitive cross-sectional imaging of the abdomen, cystic lesions of the pancreas are being increasingly recognized. In many such cases, biopsy or resection reveals a multilocular cyst lined by columnar mucinous epithelium.

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms

Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 2015
Our understanding of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas has remarkably grown within the last decade; nonetheless there is still an ongoing controversy if the majority of these potentially malignant neoplasms need to be resected or if observation in a subset is well tolerated.Novel cyst fluid biomarkers, like Gnas mutations ...

Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm

Journal of Insurance Medicine, 2016
Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms are cystic growths often noted incidentally in the pancreatic ducts. Left untreated, some may progress to invasive cancer.

Mucinous Neoplasms of the Vermiform Appendix

Surgical Pathology Clinics, 2010
Most epithelial neoplasms of the vermiform appendix are of mucinous type and can be stratified into 3 main diagnostic categories: (1) adenoma, (2) mucinous neoplasms of uncertain malignant potential or low-grade mucinous neoplasm, and (3) adenocarcinoma.

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm

Current Treatment Options in Gastroenterology, 2002
Surgical resection is the treatment of choice for intraductal papillary mucinous tumor. In intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm, the extent of resection is determined by the extent of the disease. If, by pre- and intraoperative assessment, the disease appears localized, limited resection (pancreaticoduodenectomy or distal pancreatectomy) should be ...

Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasms

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 2008
Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is characterized by enhanced mucus secretion. It is a benign or low-grade neoplasm associated with a dilated main pancreatic duct, patulous ampullary orifice, and abundant mucus secretion. Foci of aggressive cancer may arise and become invasive.

Mucinous Neoplasms of the Ovary

2014
Primary mucinous tumors represent 15 % of all ovarian tumors and are classified as either benign, borderline, or malignant. More than 80 % of mucinous tumors are benign, while only 2–7 % are malignant. An overwhelming majority of tumors show gastrointestinal differentiation.

Mucinous Cystic Neoplasms

2019
Mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs) are uncommon neoplasms of the pancreas that are characterized by a distinctive-type ovarian stroma. They tend to occur in the distal pancreas in middle-aged women. The majority of MCNs are slow growing with the prevalence of invasive carcinoma ranging from 3.9% to 34.4%.
