Mucinous cystadenoma of the ovary
Diagnosis in short

Ovarian mucinous cystadenoma. H&E stain.

LM cysts lined by a simple mucinous epithelium, no cytologic atypia
LM DDx seromucinous borderline tumour of the ovary, mucinous borderline tumour of the ovary
Molecular +/-KRAS mutation
Gross multiloculated cystic lesion, thin cyst walls/no solid areas
Site ovary - see ovarian tumours

Prevalence common
Prognosis benign
Clin. DDx other ovarian tumours - esp. mucinous ones, and mucinous appendiceal lesions
Treatment cystectomy/oophorectomy

Mucinous cystadenoma of the ovary, also ovarian mucinous cystadenoma, is a common benign ovarian tumour.

It is unrelated to mucinous cystadenoma of the appendix.

General

  • Common.[1]
    • Approximately 80% of all mucinous ovarian tumours.[2]
  • Benign.

Gross

  • Usually multiloculated.
  • May be very large large.[3]
  • No solid areas/thin cyst walls.

Images

Microscopic

Features:

  • Cysts lined by a simple mucinous epithelium.
  • No cytologic atypia.

Note:

  • A borderline component may be present but must be <10% of the tumour.[4]
    • Lesions with <10% borderline component are known as mucinous cystadenoma of the ovary with focal proliferation or mucinous cystadenoma of the ovary with focal atypia.

Mucinous cystadenoma with focal proliferation

Left Ovarian Cyst, Excision:
	- Mucinous cystadenoma with focal proliferation, see comment.

Comment:
The proliferative component is less than 10% of the lesion.
