Descriptor English: Cystadenocarcinoma, Mucinous
Descriptor Spanish: Cistadenocarcinoma Mucinoso
Descriptor cistoadenocarcinoma mucinoso
Scope note: Tumor quístico o semisólido, maligno, que ocurre con mayor frecuencia en el ovario. La forma sólida es poco frecuente. Este tumor puede aparecer sobre un cistoadenoma mucinoso o ser maligno desde el principio. Los quistes están revestidos por células epiteliales cilíndricas altas; en otros, el epitelio está constituido por múltiples capas de células que han perdido totalmente su estructura normal. Los tumores más indiferenciados presentan masas y nidos de células tumorales que recuerdan muy poco a las estructuras de origen. (Hughes, Obstetric-Gynecologic Terminology, 1972, p 184)

Scope note: A malignant cystic or semisolid tumor most often occurring in the ovary. Rarely, one is solid. This tumor may develop from a mucinous cystadenoma, or it may be malignant at the onset. The cysts are lined with tall columnar epithelial cells; in others, the epithelium consists of many layers of cells that have lost normal structure entirely. In the more undifferentiated tumors, one may see sheets and nests of tumor cells that have very little resemblance to the parent structure. (Hughes, Obstetric-Gynecologic Terminology, 1972, p184)
