A new cell line, designated IM has been established from operation material derived from a woman with ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma. The population doubling time of the 35th passage IM cell was 28.8 hours. And it was successively subcultured 165 times in over 7 years, moreover still kept CA125

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 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

A significant proportion of ovarian cancer patients do not achieve a complete response to chemotherapy, due mainly to the evolution of clones resistant to cytotoxic drugs. Exploring possibilities to overcome this resistance constitutes a challenge in the study of ovarian cancer experimental therapy.

A 76-year-old woman was diagnosed of mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the appendix. Since there was wide direct invasion into the right psoas muscle, she was judged as inoperable although she had no bowel obstruction. She was received FOLFIRI and bevacizumab treatment. After the first cycle, the tumor

OBJECTIVE To summarize the experience in the diagnosis and treatment of biliary cystadenoma and cystadenocarcinoma. METHODS The clinical data of 8 patients of biliary cystadenoma and cystadenocarcinoma, 3 males and 5 females, aged 55.8 (26 approximately 71), were analyzed

OBJECTIVE Biliary cystadenoma (BCA) and biliary cystadenocarcinoma (BCAC) account for 5%-10% of liver cystic diseases. In this study, we analysed the clinical presentation and surgical management of patients with BCA and BCAC. METHODS We retrospectively analysed the medical records of 23 BCA and 7

Biliary cystadenocarcinoma is a very rare cystic tumor that arises in the liver or, less frequently, in the extrahepatic biliary system. It has been shown to arise in congenital liver cysts, bile ducts, biliary cystadenoma, in the context of fibropolycystic disease and in the hepatoduodenal

OBJECTIVE Pseudomyxoma peritonei is a rare disease characterized by diffuse intraperitoneal mucinous tumor and massive mucinous ascites. The mainstay of treatment is surgery in combination with adjuvant therapy. METHODS From 1995 to 2002, 8 patients with pathologically confirmed pseudomyxoma

Primary biliary cystadenoma, cystadenocarcinoma, squamous carcinoma, and adenosquamous carcinoma of the liver are rare tumors. We describe a middle-aged woman with recurrent fever and a clinical diagnosis of hepatic abscess who proved at laparotomy to have adenosquamous carcinoma of the liver

A 72-old-year Japanese man was incidentally found to have out liver dysfunction on serum examination and a cystic tumor in the liver. Dynamic computed tomography revealed a solitary cystic tumor 14 cm in diameter with multiple septa. The cyst wall was occasionally irregular with hyperarterial

BACKGROUND Hepatobiliary cystadenomas and cystadenocarcinomas are rare and often misdiagnosed. OBJECTIVE We report our experience with 33 cases over 20 years to discuss an algorithm for these diseases. METHODS Patients presenting with a diagnosis of hepatobiliary cystadenomas and cystadenocarcinomas

OBJECTIVE The aim of this investigation was to describe the clinical features, diagnosis, pathologic characteristics, and optimal surgical management for patients with extrahepatic biliary cystadenomas. BACKGROUND Extrahepatic biliary cystadenomas are rare epithelial neoplasms. The clinical features

We report on 3 cases of unusual appendiceal pathology presenting as urologic disease: 2 cases were benign mucoceles and 1 a malignant mucocele or cystadenocarcinoma of the appendix. Two cases presented as pelvic masses causing urinary frequency and the third with fever and hydronephrosis. The

A 39-year-old woman with fever of unknown origin was admitted to our hospital. Whole body scintigrams with 67Ga-citrate showed an abnormal accumulation of radioactivity in the pelvic cavity. Cystadenocarcinoma of the ovary was suspected on the basis of findings obtained by abdominal computed
