• INTRODUCTION Since the 1st description more than three decades ago1, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas has become widely recognized as one of the most common cyst-forming pancreatic neoplasms, and several variants of intraductal neoplasms have been described including the gastric, intestinal, or pancreatobiliary subtypes2C9. (opioid-receptors.com)
  • To study the relationship between carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) subtype, and the presence of invasive carcinoma. (gastrores.org)
  • Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is a substantial subclass of pancreatic pathology, representing 20-50% of cystic pancreatic neoplasms [ 1 - 3 ]. (gastrores.org)
  • Ampullary carcinomas (ACs) are most frequently intestinal or pancreatobiliary adenocarcinomas but other subtypes, such as medullary, mucinous, or signet ring/poorly cohesive cell carcinoma, may be encountered. (bvsalud.org)
  • For example, the protein is commonly found in colorectal cancer, transitional cell carcinomas and in Merkel cell carcinoma, but is absent in lung cancer, prostate cancer, and non-mucinous ovarian cancer. (wikipedia.org)
  • Transitional cell and squamous cell carcinomas are the most common but there are three reported cases of mucinous adenocarcinoma. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The literature repeatedly describes difficulties in diagnosing PMCS, especially when attempting to differentiate the metastases from mucinous carcinomas of other origins. (asploro.com)
  • Mucinous skin carcinomas are mostly seen in the head and neck region and isolated specimens from this area should raise suspicion for a PMCS. (asploro.com)
  • Patients with low-grade appendiceal mucinous carcinomas (LAMNs) treated with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) have a favorable prognosis. (rare-cancer.org)
  • In the 4th edition of WHO classification of tumors of female reproductive organs, primary villoglandular mucinous adenocarcinoma is defined as a primary invasive glandular epithelial tumor of intestinal type and the synonyms are cloacogenic carcinoma or cloacogenic adenocarcinoma [ 1 ]. (hindawi.com)
  • Using WHO classification, 43.8% were tubular adenocarcinoma, 7.8% were mucinous adenocarcinoma, 17.2% were signet-ring cell carcinoma, and 31.3% were undifferentiated carcinoma. (edu.vn)
  • Despite the troubles of 41575-94-4 determining the degree of invasive carcinoma in many cases, the overall end result appears relatively beneficial and considerably better than that of standard ductal adenocarcinoma, even when only the instances with invasive carcinoma are considered. (opioid-receptors.com)
  • Immunohistochemical analysis of metastasis allowed to identify immunophenotypes of different types of metastatic carcinoma and melanoma and estimate the origin of unknown primary metastasis. (ungthuvn.org)
  • However, there was no correlation between CEA level and cystic mucinous secretions or mucinous epithelial cytoplasm CEA staining, mucin glycoprotein expression, size of lesion, grade of dysplasia or presence of invasive carcinoma. (gastrores.org)
  • IPMN is thought to represent a precursor lesion to pancreatic adenocarcinoma due to its association with invasive carcinoma [ 5 ]. (gastrores.org)
  • In addition to CEA being used to stratify mucinous vs. non-mucinous lesions, several studies have attempted to correlate pancreatic cyst fluid CEA level and the presence of invasive carcinoma, with discordant results [ 17 , 18 ]. (gastrores.org)
  • The differential diagnosis includes glandular differentiation of transitional cell carcinoma and direct extension or metastatic spread of adenocarcinoma arising primarily from the colon, prostate, appendix or endometrium. (biomedcentral.com)

  • mucinous and Brenner malignant tumors potentially develop from the Walthard nests. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Because of positivity for GATA 3 ( an immunomarker found for example in breast and salivary glands but also in skin tumors [5,6] and expression of mammaglobin, an immunohistochemical marker found in breast cancer [7], mammography was done also and ultrasonography was performed to rule out a salivary gland origin because of its anatomic proximity. (asploro.com)
