Mucinous cystadenoma with mesenchymal over-growth: a new variant among pancreatic mucinous cystadenomas?
2004
Overview
We report an unusual type of mucinous cystadenoma of the pancreas, characterised by a predominantly solid gross appearance due to the presence of an abundant ovarian-type stroma. The tumour, located in the body of the pancreas, was discovered after episodes of acute pancreatitis. It was composed of several mucus-secreting benign cysts placed within a highly cellular ovarian-type stroma, composed of undifferentiated spindle cells with mild atypia but without any increase of mitotic activity and with a low proliferative index. These cells expressed oestrogen and progesterone receptors, but they did not express CD34, CD117, p53 protein or bcl-2. Recognition of this peculiar mainly solid mucinous cystadenoma containing an abundant ovarian-type stroma is difficult. It is conceivable that the mesenchymal component described in our case could represent an early stage in the development of sarcoma in mucinous cystadenoma of the pancreas.
