Mucinous cystadenoma of the mesorectum

There indeed may be a relationship between estrogen receptors within the cuboidal cells of the cyst and tumor promotion.2 A second theory of origination suggests that mucinous cystadenomas are derived from the mesothelial layer of teratomas.3 Histologically, this appears plausible; however, it is un...

Description
Summary:There indeed may be a relationship between estrogen receptors within the cuboidal cells of the cyst and tumor promotion.2 A second theory of origination suggests that mucinous cystadenomas are derived from the mesothelial layer of teratomas.3 Histologically, this appears plausible; however, it is unlikely to be the sole pathway for mucinous cystadenoma development. Standard imaging techniques such as plain film, ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging aid in the diagnosis of a cystic mass but are unlikely to be confirmatory for mucinous cystadenoma. [...]of the rare nature of mucinous cystic lesions, the gold standard for management has yet to be established.
