English

Subject field(s)
  • The Genitals
DEF

A form of adenocarcinoma of the breast characterized by the production of mucin in significant amounts, intracellularity and extracellularity.

OBS

Ovarian mucinous tumors are either benign or malignant. Grossly, they tend to produce large cystic masses often multiloculated, and filled with gelatinous fluid. Histologically, the tumors are lined by tall, columnar epithelium showing apical mucinous vacuolation. In cystadenocarcinoma, the papillary projections are more numerous, mural nodules are present, and epithelial cells show atypia and invade the capsule. Borderline tumors have similar atypia but are noninvasive. Malignant mucinous tumors can seed the peritoneal cavity ..., filling it with mucinous secretions.

DEF

Tumeur germinale maligne du testicule ou de l'ovaire.

CONT

La tumeur vitelline du testicule est encore appelée tumeur du sinus endodermique ou carcinome embryonnaire de type infantile, ou orchioblastome, ou adénocarcinome embryonnaire alors que la tumeur vitelline de l'ovaire ou tumeur du sinus endodermique, a été longtemps désignée sous le terme de mésonéphrome de Schiller ou de papillo-endothéliome ou de mésoblastome, en raison des ressemblances qu'on avait cru relever entre ses aspects histologiques et les glomérules du mésonéphrome, les proliférations endothéliales ou les mésoblastes de l'embryon.

OBS

La tumeur vitelline se développe plus souvent à l'état pur dans l'ovaire que dans le testicule.
