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
