two cases of primary retroperitoneal Mucinous Cystadenocarcinoma
Gynecologic Oncology, 1996Co-Authors: Iwuen Lee, Kwokchoy Ching, Minnie PangAbstract:Two cases of primary retroperitoneal Mucinous Cystadenocarcinoma of the ovarian type in the presence of bilateral normal ovaries are reported. Benign, borderline, and malignant Mucinous epithelium were present in both tumors; no separate ovarian tissue was identified. In addition to removal of the tumor, the uterus and both ovaries were removed and the patients are well with no evidence of disease at 30 and 15 months. Only 10 cases of primary retroperitoneal Mucinous Cystadenocarcinoma have been reported in the English literature and these are reviewed. The outcome of these limited number of cases suggests that removal of both ovaries and the uterus in addition to extirpation of the retroperitoneal tumor, even though the uterus and ovaries are normal, may improve the prognosis.

pulmonary Mucinous Cystadenocarcinoma report of a case and review of the literature
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2003Co-Authors: Hironori Ishibashi, Takuya Moriya, Yasushi Matsuda, Tetsu Sado, Yasushi Hoshikawa, Masayuki Chida, Masami Sato, Hironobu Sasano, Takashi KondoAbstract:A case of primary Mucinous Cystadenocarcinoma of the lung is presented. The patient was a 42-year-old woman with a 5-cm left lung mass. Left lower lobectomy was performed and analysis of a frozen section revealed Mucinous Cystadenocarcinoma. The tumor was a fibrous, walled cyst containing abundant Mucinous material. Sparse groups of malignant cells were microscopically observed in pools of mucin; thus, the tumor resembled Mucinous Cystadenocarcinoma that occurs in the ovary, appendix, or pancreas. The tumor we found is a very rare intrapulmonary neoplasm that is differentiated from a metastatic lesion and Mucinous bronchoalveolar carcinoma by its very different clinical course and prognosis.

pseudomyxoma peritonei due to Mucinous Cystadenocarcinoma in situ of the urachus presenting as an inguinal hernia
International Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2006Co-Authors: Toshiki Shinohara, Kazuhito Misawa, Hidekazu Sano, Yumi Okawa, Akio TakadaAbstract:Pseudomyxoma peritonei is generally caused by appendiceal and ovarian tumors. Other primary sites have been rarely reported. We describe herein the second reported case of pseudomyxoma peritonei due to Mucinous Cystadenocarcinoma of the urachus. A 54-year-old man was admitted with a left inguinal hernia that had developed several months prior to his admission. During herniorrhaphy, we found a large amount of gelatinous Mucinous material in the indirect-hernia sac and made a diagnosis of pseudomyxoma peritonei on cytological grounds. At re-operation, the origin of the pseudomyxoma peritonei proved to be a ruptured urachal cyst. The urachal cyst and the dome of the urinary bladder were excised. In addition, we removed as much of the gelatinous material as possible. On histological examination, a unilocular cyst was found to consist of noninvasive Mucinous adenocarcinoma. We succeeded in removing the rest of the Mucinous material by postoperative intraperitoneal lavage with dextran solution, and have observed no evidence of recurrence for 7 years since the operation.

retroperitoneal Mucinous Cystadenocarcinoma in a man case report and review of the literature
Urologic Oncology-seminars and Original Investigations, 2007Co-Authors: Justin M Green, Bryan C Bruner, Wendell W Tang, Eduardo OrihuelaAbstract:In the English medical literature, 27 cases of primary retroperitoneal Mucinous Cystadenocarcinoma have been published. We report the second case of a primary retroperitoneal Mucinous Cystadenocarcinoma in a man. The patient was an 83-year-old man, with a large 26 x 20 x 16-cm retroperitoneal cystic mass causing abdominal discomfort and cachexia, who underwent excision of the mass. Prior reports suggest that this type of tumor has an aggressive clinical course, and surgical excision is the treatment of choice. These rare tumors need to be included in the differential of retroperitoneal cystic tumors.

primary retroperitoneal Mucinous Cystadenocarcinoma associated with pregnancy
International Journal of Gynecological Cancer, 2008Co-Authors: Katsunori Kashima, Tetsuro Yahata, Kazuyuki Fujita, K TanakaAbstract:Primary retroperitoneal Mucinous Cystadenocarcinoma (PRMC) is an extremely rare tumor. Only 30 cases have been reported previously in the English literature, and little information is available concerning its treatment and prognosis. The patient was a 28-year-old woman, presenting with a right mid-abdominal tumor at 26 weeks of gestation. At 31 weeks of gestation, she underwent an exploratory laparotomy and was diagnosed with a PRMC. No disseminated tumor was observed, and an excision of only the tumor was performed. She had an uneventful vaginal delivery at 38 weeks of gestation and remains free of disease at 13 months after the operation. This report describes a case of PRMC associated with pregnancy. The optimal management of these retroperitoneal masses during pregnancy is discussed. Based on limited experience and the current literature, a PRMC with an intact capsule and no dissemination appears to have a good prognosis and can be treated by tumor excision alone in patients who wish to preserve fertility.
