MUCINOUS CYSTADENOCARCINOMA
These tumors are characterized by mucin filled cystic spaces lined by tumor cells which secretes mucin. These neoplastic cells transform in the centre of the lumen into squamoid elements. These features are not seen in the mucinous carcinoma of breast.
Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma : Mucin filled cystic spaces lined by tumor cells which are columnar to cuboidal. Interstitial Fibromuscular tissue shows lymphocytic infiltrate (H&E,X100).
Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma : Mucin filled cystic spaces lined by tumor cells which are low columnar to cuboidal. Interstitial Fibromuscular tissue shows lymphocytic infiltrate (H&E,X100).
Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma: Mucin filled cystic spaces lined by tumor cells which are columnar to cuboidal. Interstitial Fibromuscular tissue shows lymphocytic infiltrate (H&E,X100).
Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma: Mucin filled cystic spaces lined by tumor cells which are columnar to cuboidal. Interstitial Fibromuscular tissue shows lymphocytic infiltrate and focal lymphoid aggregate (H&E,X100).
Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma: Mucin filled cystic spaces lined by tumor cells having round to oval nuclei of varying sizes and with moderate amount of cytoplasm (H&E,400)
