- Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the ovary is a rare malignant ovarian mucinous tumor. This type can account for 5-10% of all ovarian mucinous tumors. It is a type of ovarian epithelial tumor.
- Retrospective studies have suggested that many mucinous carcinomas initially diagnosed as primary to the ovary have in fact metastasised from another site.
