Preferred Label : Ovarian Mucinous Cystic Tumor with Mural Nodules;
NCIt synonyms : Mucinous Cystic Tumor with Mural Nodules;
NCIt definition : A mucinous cystic tumor of the ovary characterized by the presence of one or more
well circumscribed solid nodules in the wall of the cysts (mural nodules) that protrude
into the lumen. The mural nodules may be benign (sarcoma-like) or malignant. The malignant
mural nodules histologically are anaplastic carcinomas, carcinosarcomas, or sarcomas.
The clinical course depends on the histology of the mural nodules. The prognosis of
mucinous cystic tumors with benign mural nodules is the same as the corresponding
types of mucinous cystic tumors without the mural nodules. Mucinous cystic tumors
with malignant mural nodules may follow a malignant clinical course.;
