Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma causes
Introduction
Causes
Causes
- KRAS mutations are found in mucinous carcinomas of ovary.[1][2][3][4]
- Chronic luminal obstruction of the appendix may lead to cyst formation and due to continued mucin secretion by the mucosal epithelium, may lead to mucous cyst adenoma formation.
- Hyperplastic lesions of epithelium with dysplasia may progress to mucin secreting cystadenocarcinomas.[5][6]
