In today's life, with the rapid development of society, people's pace of life is getting faster and faster, their lives are irregular, and many unhealthy living habits have led to an increasing number of women suffering from ovarian mucinous tumors.

In recent years, the mortality rate of many gynecological diseases has become increasingly higher, and many gynecological cancers have taken the lives of young women. Therefore, when it comes to tumors, many people are particularly afraid. In fact, there are many types of tumors. Let’s follow the editor to learn about the common mucinous tumors.

Mucinous cystadenomas account for 20% of benign ovarian tumors. 95% of the tumors are unilateral, with a grayish-white surface, large or huge size, and often multi-chambered cross-sections with cystic cavities of varying sizes. The cyst septa are composed of connective tissue, the cystic fluid is gelatinous and contains mucin or glycoprotein. The tumor surface is smooth and rarely has papillary growth. The cyst cavity is covered with a single layer of tall columnar epithelium that can produce mucus. The malignant transformation rate is 5~10%.

Peritoneal myxoma: 2-5% of patients with ovarian mucinous cystadenoma have peritoneal myxoma, which is usually secondary to cyst rupture. Tumor cells implant in the peritoneum and form tumor nodules, producing a large amount of mucus, but generally no organ parenchymal infiltration occurs. It is not easy to completely remove the tumor during surgery and it is very easy to relapse after surgery. The 5-year survival rate is only 45%. The tumor epithelium is highly differentiated and is insensitive to radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma accounts for about 10% of ovarian malignancies. Most cases are unilateral, with a large tumor, nipple or fibroblastic area visible on the cyst wall, half cystic and half solid on the cross section, and turbid or bloody cystic fluid. The prognosis is significantly better than that of serous carcinoma. The 5-year survival rate is 40~50%.
