This study presents the cytologic features of peritoneal washings, with particular emphasis on the cytologic discrimination among serous, mucinous, and endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the ovary. We selected histologically confirmed 27 cases of peritoneal washing : 8 cases of serous cystadenocarcinomas, 5 cases of mucinous cystadenocarcinomas, and 14 cases of endometrioid adenocarcinomas. The most frequent cytologic pattern of three tumors was clusters. Ball pattern was found in serous cystadenocarcinoma(36%) and acinar pattern in endometrioid adenocarcinoma(36%). Mucinous adenocarcinoma showed mucoid background(100%) and endometrioid adenocarcinoma revealed inflammatory background(43%). The cytoplasmic vacuoles were noted in 80%, 13%, and 43% of mucinous, serous, and endometriold adenocarcinoma, respectively. The endometrioid adenocarcinoma showed prominent nucleoli(64%). In conclusion, the cytologic findings of mucinous cystadenocarcinoma were different from that of serous and endometrioid carcinomas, such as mucoid background, abundant cyytoplasm with vacuolated cytoplasm, and peripherally located cytoplasm. Although endometriold carcinoma showed acinar pattern and prominent nucleoli, the differential diagnosis between serous cystadenocarcinoma and endometrioid adenocarcinoma in peritoneal washing cytology was was always possible.

원발성 후복막 점액낭샘암종은 매우 드문 질환으로 현재까지 전 세계적으로 51예가 보고 되었고 이 중 임산부에서 발생한 사례가 3예 있었다. 저자들은 31세 여성에서 임신 15주 3일에 발견된 원발성 후복막 점액낭샘암종의 자기공명영상 소견을 보고하고자 한다. 복부 자기공명영상에서 후복막강 내에 위치한 종괴는 경계가 좋은 낭종으로 불규칙하게 두꺼워진 낭벽과 내부에 중벽을 가지고 있으며, T1강조영상과 T2강조영상에서 다양한 신호강도를 보이는 부위를 포함하고 있었다. 수술을 통해 원발성 후복막 점액낭샘암종으로 진단 받았고 수술 15개월 후 양측 난소에 전이성 점액낭샘암종이 발생하여 전자궁적출술과 양측 난소난관절제술 및 대망절제술을 시행하였다.

Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma (MCA) is a malignant tumor that mainly occurs in the breast or ovary, but MCA is internationally rarely reported in head and neck region. Especially MCA in minor salivary gland of oral cavity is even more rare. It is characterized by cystic spaces lining of epithelial cells containing intracytoplasmic mucin. We report a case of MCA in the labial mucosa of upper lip considered to develop from minor salivary gland with a review of literatures.

Pancreatic tumors in children are very rare but have a better prognosis compared with that in adult. Pediatric pancreatic tumors are more often benign and easier to resect. To evaluate the characteristics and prognosis, the records of 13 patients who underwent pancreatic resection, from June 1997 to May 2005, at Samsung Medical Center were reviewed. The mean follow up period was 48 months. The male to female ratio was 1: 1.6. Mean age was 10.3 years. Signs and symptoms included abdominal pain (7), abdominal palpable mass (5), jaundice (1), hypoglycemic (1), and non-specific GI symptoms (4). The commonly used diagnostic tools were CT and abdominal sonography. In addition, MRI, ERCP, EEG, and hormone test were also done when indicated. Surgical procedures included distal pancreatectomy (5), pylorus preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (4), tumor excision (3), and subtotal pancreatectomy (1). Locations of lesions in pancreas were head (4), tail (5), and body and tail (4). Postoperative complications developed in 3 cases; postoperative ileus (1), wound problem (1), and pancreatitis (1). The pathologic diagnosis included solid-pseudopapillary tumor (6), congenital simple cyst (1), pancreatic duplication cyst (1), serous oligocystic adenoma (1), mucinous cystadenocarcinoma (1), rhabdomyosarcoma (1), insulinoma (1), and pancreatoblastoma (1). Three cases received adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Overall survival rate was 81 %. One patient with a mucinous cystadenocarcinoma died. In this study, pancreatic tumors in children were resectable in all patients and had good survival. Surgery of pancreatic tumors should be regarded as the gold standard of treatment and a good prognosis can be anticipated in most cases of benign and malignant tumors.
