Urachal mucinous tumor of uncertain malignant potential is very rare and is characterized by a multilocular cyst showing the proliferation of atypical mucin-secreting cells without stromal invasion. As in ovarian and appendiceal borderline tumors, it represents a transitional stage of mucinous carcinogenesis in the urachus. In addition, this tumor may recur locally and develop into pseudomyxoma peritonei. Due to its scarcity and diagnostic challenges, we report a mucinous tumor of uncertain malignant potential arising in the urachus.
具有不确定恶性潜能的脐尿管黏液性肿瘤非常罕见,其特征为多房囊肿,伴有非典型黏液分泌细胞增殖且无基质浸润。与卵巢和阑尾交界性肿瘤一样,它代表脐尿管黏液癌发生的一个过渡阶段。此外,该肿瘤可能局部复发并发展为腹膜假黏液瘤。鉴于其罕见性及诊断挑战,我们报告一例发生于脐尿管的具有不确定恶性潜能的黏液性肿瘤。
