background: the oncologic behavior of mucinous adenocarcinoma (ma) of colorectal differs from non-mucinous adenocarcinoma (nma). ma is more advanced at diagnosis and has a poorer prognosis than nma. we aimed to evaluate prognostic factors and survival rate in patients with ma compared with nma in western iran. methods: during 2008-2015 in a retrospective study, 83 patients with crc referred to ...

Background: The tumor suppressor gene TP53 (alias p53) located on chromosome 17 is involved in various cancers. Case-control studies have shown that p53 codon 72 polymorphism modulates the prognosis and susceptibility to various malignancies. We undertook the present study to explore a possible association between mucinous and non-mucinous adenocarcinomas with different genotypes or alleles at ...

colloid carcinoma, also called mucinous carcinoma, is classified as a histologic variant of adenocarcinoma. because the colloid carcinoma of the biliary tree is exceedingly rare, the imaging characteristics and the clinical features of colloid carcinoma remain relatively unknown. we report a case of colloid carcinoma of the common bile duct and its accompanied metastatic lymphadenopathies with ...

In 2011,mucinous bronchioloalveolar carcinoma was reclassified as invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma, mucinous adenocarcinoma in situ,and mucinous minimally invasive adenocarcinoma.A part of the invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma of the lung differentiates to gastric mucous cells, and we term this type of carcinoma gastric-like invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma.However,treatment approaches have not ...

Primary mucinous lesions of the urinary system are extremely rare. We describe two cases of primary mucinous lesions of the urothelial tract. One case is of mucinous metaplasia in the bladder of a 40-year-old man presenting with frequent urination, urgency, and gross hematuria. The other case is of mucinous adenocarcinoma in the pelvis of an otherwise healthy 67-year-old man with left nephrolit...

Mucinous carcinoma of the breast is a well-differentiated type of adenocarcinoma accounting for 2-5% of all breast cancers. Pure mucinous carcinoma of the breast has a favorable prognosis, usually seen in post-menopausal women. Neuroendocrine differentiation has been described in both in-situ and infiltrating breast cancers .Mucinous carcinomas of the breast appear to have the greatest associat...

Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the prostate is rare and its biological behavior is not well known. We report a case of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the prostate, which was treated successfully with castration. Positivity for prostatic specific antigen by immunohistochemistry confirmed the prostatic origin of this tumor. A review of the literature revealed 30 authentic cases. Prostatic mucinous adenoc...

Secondary and primar neoplasms of the appendix are rare tumors found in approximately 1% appendectomy specimens, with epithelial neuroendocrine being more frequent. (1). Epithelial adenocarcinoma is most common malignancy mucinous (37%) non-mucinous (27%) histological subtypes. We present a clinical case.

Primary thymic mucinous adenocarcinoma is extremely rare; to our knowledge, only 2 cases have been reported to date. We describe a third case of primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the thymus in a 41-year-old man who presented with an anterior mediastinal mass with subsequent metastasis to the lung. The initial diagnosis was of metastatic mucinous adenocarcinoma, but extensive clinical workup of...
