Pancreatic mucinous cystic neoplasm : ウィキペディア英語版 | Pancreatic mucinous cystic neoplasm
Pancreatic mucinous cystic neoplasm, also mucinous cystic neoplasm of the pancreas and mucinous cystic tumour, is a grouping of cystic neoplasms that arise from the pancreas. They may be benign, malignant or in between. The prognosis of this set of tumours is highly variable and dependent on the specific sub-classification (''benign'', ''borderline'', ''malignant''). ==Definition== Mucinous cystic neoplasms of the pancreas are defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as cystic epithelial neoplasms that occur almost exclusively in women; do not communicate with the pancreatic ductal system and which are composed of columnar, mucin-producing epithelium, supported by ovarian-type stroma. This means that these tumors make mucin (a thick sticky fluid), they do not arise in the larger pancreatic ducts, and they have a peculiar supporting stroma (or support structure).
