===General===
{{Main|Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the ovary}}
*Malignant.
*May arise in [[endometriosis]].<ref name=Ref_PBoD1097>{{Ref PBoD |1097}}</ref>
*Poor response to chemotherapy vis-à-vis serous carcinoma.<ref name=pmid19275957>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Shimada | first1 = M. | last2 = Kigawa | first2 = J. | last3 = Ohishi | first3 = Y. | last4 = Yasuda | first4 = M. | last5 = Suzuki | first5 = M. | last6 = Hiura | first6 = M. | last7 = Nishimura | first7 = R. | last8 = Tabata | first8 = T. | last9 = Sugiyama | first9 = T. | title = Clinicopathological characteristics of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the ovary. | journal = Gynecol Oncol | volume = 113 | issue = 3 | pages = 331-4 | month = Jun | year = 2009 | doi = 10.1016/j.ygyno.2009.02.010 | PMID = 19275957 }}</ref>
 
===Gross===
Features:
*Multiloculated.
*Sticky, gelatinous fluid (glycoprotein).
*+/-[[Necrosis]].
*Typically unilateral.<ref name=pmid22885379>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Offman | first1 = SL. | last2 = Longacre | first2 = TA. | title = Clear cell carcinoma of the female genital tract (not everything is as clear as it seems). | journal = Adv Anat Pathol | volume = 19 | issue = 5 | pages = 296-312 | month = Sep | year = 2012 | doi = 10.1097/PAP.0b013e31826663b1 | PMID = 22885379 }}</ref>
 
===Microscopic===
Features:
*Mucinous differentiation.
**Tall [[columnar cell]]s in glands with apical mucin.
***May have an endocervical-like ''or'' intestinal-like appearance - see ''subtypes''.
*Invasive morphology - one of the following:
*#Back-to-back glands/confluent growth pattern.
*#Desmoplastic stromal response.
*#Cribriforming of glands.
*Malignant characteristics:
**+/-Nuclear atypia.
**+/-Necrosis.
**No cilia.
 
DDx:
*[[Mucinous borderline tumour of the ovary]].
*[[Metastatic]] [[mucinous carcinoma]].
 
====Subtypes====
#''Endocervical type''.
#*Less likely to be malignant.
#*More common than malignant type.
#''Intestinal type''.
#*More likely to be malignant.
#*+/-[[Goblet cell]]s.
#**One large clear apical vacuole.
#*If it doesn't look like intestine to you... it probably isn't.
#*May vaguely resemble colorectal adenocarcinoma (hyperchromatic, columnar nuclei, nuclear pleomorphism).

Comparison of mucosa:
*Normal endocervical mucosa: [http://pathology.mc.duke.edu/research/Histo_course/endocx.jpg endocervical mucosa (duke.edu)].
*Normal colonic mucosa: [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Rectal_prolapse_-_intermed_mag.jpg colonic type mucosa (WC)].
 
===IHC===
*CK7 +ve.
*[[CK20]] +ve.
