Overview
On microscopic histopathological analysis, mucinous differentiation, nuclear atypia, and necrosis are characteristic findings of mucinous adenocarcinoma.
Key Biopsy Findings in Mucinous Cystadenocarcinoma
Microscopic Pathology
- Features:
- Mucinous differentiation
- Tall columnar cells in glands with apical mucin
- May have an endocervical-like or intestinal-like appearance
- Invasive morphology
- Back-to-back glands/confluent growth pattern
- Desmoplastic stromal response
- Cribriforming of glands
- Infiltration the tumor capsule
- Malignant characteristics:
- Nuclear atypia
- Necrosis
- No cilia
