Epidemiology and Demographics
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
Mucinous cystadenoma of ovary
- 3 to 4 percent of primary ovarian cancers is mucinous cancers of the ovary.[1][2][3]
- With predominance in perimenopausal women late 40s to early 50s.
- Account for 10 to 15% of all ovarian tumors.[1][4][5][6]
- Benign mucinous cystadenomas make 80 percent of these.
Mucinous cystadenoma of pancreas
- Mostly in perimenopausal women in late 40s to early 50s.[7]
- More common in females than males.
Mucinous cystadenoma of appendix
- Appendiceal mucinous neoplasms are rare.
- 1000 to 2000 cases are diagnosed annually in the United States.[8]
- More common in females.[9]
- Age of diagnosis 50s and 60s.[10]
