Hepatobiliary Mucinous Cystic Neoplasms With Ovarian Type Stroma (So-Called “Hepatobiliary Cystadenoma/Cystadenocarcinoma”): Clinicopathologic Analysis of 36 Cases Illustrates Rarity of Carcinomatous Change
In conclusion, many cysts (25%) previously reported as hepatobiliary cystadenoma/cystadenocarcinoma are not MCNs. True MCNs are uncommon among resected hepatic cysts (11%), occur exclusively in females, are large, mostly intrahepatic and in the left lobe (72%). Invasive carcinomas are small and uncommon (6%) compared with their pancreatic counterpart (16%). Recurrences are not uncommon following incomplete excision.
