What is borderline mucinous ovarian cystadenoma?

In 1961, the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics proposed the diagnostic criteria for borderline tumors: that is, the epithelial cells of the cystadenoma proliferate actively, the cell nuclei are atypical, but there is no infiltration of tumor cell tissue into the interstitium. This type was recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1973.

It is generally believed that borderline tumors are potential or low-grade malignant tumors with a good clinical prognosis. As reported in the literature, the 5-year survival rate of serous tumors is 92% to 100%, and the 10-year survival rate is 75% to 90%, but local recurrence is prone to occur; the 5-year survival rate of mucinous tumors is 98%, and the 10-year survival rate is 96%.

Pathological findings show that most tumors are multilocular, and the cut surface may show areas of thickened cyst wall or the presence of papillae. The papillae may be flaky like velvet, or may appear as wart-like protrusions or polyps due to repeated branching. The tumors were large, with an average diameter >15 cm, and most were bilateral. When the tumor capsule ruptures, tumor cells and mucus overflow, implant and grow, and may form a pseudomyxoma.

CT manifestations: A large tumor in the pelvic area is a multilocular cystic mass with thin walls and uneven intervals. There is localized thickening of the cyst wall and nodular soft tissue masses protruding into the cyst. There is an enhancement effect, and the density of the fluid in the cyst is higher than that of water. Pseudomyxoma may form in the abdominal cavity.

After understanding junctional mucinous ovarian cystadenoma, the treatment of this type of disease needs to be carried out according to one's own specific situation. In addition, during the treatment process, you can also consult for any areas you don't understand, so that you can have some understanding of what to do, which is also very helpful for improving the disease. Patients should also pay attention to this.
