  • Title: Primary peritoneal mucinous cystadenocarcinoma mimicking possible recurrent ovarian mucinous cystadenoma: coincidental pathology or a spectrum of disease?
    Author: Filippini C, Smyth S, Soleymani Majd H, Johnson C.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2021 Jul 13; 14(7):. PubMed ID: 34257114.
    Abstract:
    We present the case of a 32-year-old woman with a previous surgical history of benign mucinous cystadenoma resected in 2012 who underwent magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography following her second pregnancy in 2020. This demonstrated a large cystic mass in the left subdiaphragmatic space. Histopathology confirmed a well-differentiated primary peritoneal mucinous cystadenocarcinoma displaying cells of a Mullerian origin. We subsequently discuss the aetiology of these conditions separately and explore the possibility of a connection between the two regarding origin or potential malignant transformation that may otherwise have occurred coincidentally in this young patient. We also acknowledge a paucity of evidence regarding subsequent management strategies.
