If left untreated, most of patients with mucinous cytoadenocarcinoma may be confined to the organ itself. Some of them may develop metastasis to gastrointestinal tract.^[1]

Advanced stages of mucinous cystadenocarcinoma have inferior prognosis.
Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma has a much more favorable prognosis than most other forms of adenocarcinoma. Cases have been documented of continued growth of these lesions over a period of 10 years without symptoms or metastasis. The overall mortality rate appears to be somewhere in the vicinity of 18% to 27%, depending on the criteria that are used to define this entity.
