Ovarian Cancer and Us
A major concern associated with ovarian mucinous carcinoma is the fact that metastatic carcinoma is much more common than
primary tumours.6 Metastatic ovarian mucinous carcinomas may originate from the colorectal region, pancreas, biliary tract, appendix, stomach,
uterine cervix or other primary sites.7 The prognosis is substantially different between metastatic and primary ovarian mucinous carcinoma,7
so the differential diagnosis between these carcinomas becomes a
critical issue. Under most circumstances, this distinction
can be attained via a combined analysis of
pathological and clinical features, but it may be problematic if the
extraovarian
primary carcinoma is inconspicuous. Consequently, a
considerable proportion of ovarian metastatic mucinous carcinomas are
misdiagnosed as primary tumours.7
