In February 2007, a 41-year-old Japanese male was admitted to our hospital with increasing upper abdominal pain. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen demonstrated a well-demarcated, hypodense cystic mass with a thickened wall in the mesocolon. The laboratory results were
Biliary cystadenoma (BCA) and biliary cystadenocarcinoma (BCAC) are rare biliary duct neoplasms. This study investigated reasonable management strategies of cystic neoplasms in the liver. Charts of 39 BCA/BCAC patients (9 males, 30 female; median age 53.74 ± 14.50 years) who underwent surgery from
BACKGROUND
Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the appendix with invasion of the anterior abdominal wall and cutaneous fistula development is a rare condition. To the best of the authors' knowledge, five such cases have been reported in the medical literature.
RESULTS
The patient was a 68-year-old man
A 40-year-old Japanese woman, who previously had undergone choledocho-jejunostomy in childhood for a congenital choledocal cyst, presented with right-sided chest pain. Computed tomography and ultrasonography demonstrated a right pleural effusion and a 10-cm unilocular hepatic cystic lesion with no
As the aberrance of carbohydrate moieties, the appearance of heterophile antigens in human ovarian cancer tissue was studied using various heterophile antigens and antibodies together with antisera raised in rabbits by immunization with extracts of human ovarian cancer tissues. In the
BACKGROUND
Intrahepatic biliary cystadenocarcinoma (IBC) is a low-incidence disease which is often misdiagnosed because of insufficient recognition. This study aimed to investigate the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
METHODS
The clinical data of 4 IBC patients treated in
Immunohistochemical and ultrastructural findings in a rare case of papillary cystadenocarcinoma arising from the left sublingual gland of a 55-year-old Japanese man are reported. Histologically, the tumor tissue was found to be composed of various-sized cystic cavities in which papillary epithelial
Extrahepatic bile duct cancer is an uncommon disease, and few cases are curable by surgery. We report a case of extrahepatic biliary cystadenocarcinoma (BCAC) associated with atrophy of the left hepatic lobe. A 54-year old male was admitted with painless obstructive jaundice and a hepatic palpable
Nine cases of biliary cystadenocarcinoma of the liver were studied, with emphasis on its clinicopathologic features, mucin profiles, and immunohistochemical characteristics. In general, the cystic tumors had protrusions that consisted of well-differentiated papillary adenocarcinoma cells with or
An ovarian cystadenocarcinoma-associated antigen (OCAA) was found to be common to all serous and mucinous cystadenocarcinomas of the ovary. It was apparently absent in tissues of normal reproductive organs. Furthermore, OCAA was not detected in benign ovarian serous and mucinous cyst-adenomas or in
Biliary cystic tumors, such as cystadenoma and cystadenocarcinoma, are rare cystic tumors of liver accounting for fewer than 5% of all intrahepatic cysts of biliary origin. Most biliary cystic tumors arise from intrahepatic bile duct and 10-20% arise from extrahepatic bile duct like common hepatic
Retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenocarcinomas are extremely rare. A 40-year-old Japanese woman was found to have a retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of ovarian type. Both ovaries were normal. Concentrations of carcinoembryonic antigen and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 in the cyst fluid were
The levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), elastase 1, and carbohydrate antigen determinant (CA 19-9) in the pancreatic cystic fluid and the serum from five patients with cystadenocarcinoma of the pancreas, one patient with retention cyst due to pancreatic carcinoma, three patients with
A case of cystadenocarcinoma of the appendix with a large cystic lesion is reported. A 49-year-old man undergoing a routine ultrasonic scan was incidentally found to have an abdominal mass measuring some 30 cm in size. The clinical presentation was asymptomatic, and the patient underwent a
Follow-up computed tomography revealed a 40-mm pancreatic tail cyst in a 59-year-old man with type 1 diabetes mellitus. An intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm was suspected; mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN) was not considered because the patient was a man. During follow-up, cyst infection occurred
