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

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.
