Overview

Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma must be differentiated from mucinous cystadenoma, serous cystadenoma, and pseudocyst.

Differentiating Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma from other Diseases

Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of ovary

  • Mucinous borderline tumor of the ovary
  • Metastatic mucinous carcinoma[1]

Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of pancreas

Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of appendix

  • Appendicitis
  • Nonmucinous appendiceal tumors
  • Mesenteric cyst[2][3]
