Overview
X-ray is not used in the diagnosis of mucinous cystadenocarcinoma. Instead, ultrasound, CT scan and MRI are used in the diagnosis and staging of the tumor.
Key Chest X-Ray Findings in Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma
- In general, the cell type (e.g. serous, mucinous) often cannot be determined on the basis of appearance at MR imaging, CT, or ultrasound. Biopsy or excision is necessary.
- A mucinous ovarian carcinoma is less likely to be bilateral than serous carcinoma, with bilateral lesions occurring in 5-10% of the stage I cases.
General
- Mucinous tumors are typically multilocular, with numerous smooth, thin-walled cysts. Mucoid material is found within the cysts, sometimes accompanied by hemorrhagic or cellular debris. A proportionately greater solid, nonfatty, non-fibrous tissue is often considered the most powerful predictor of malignancy.
