Primary broad ligament cystadenocarcinoma with mucinous component: a case report with immunohistochemical study.

Primary cystadenocarcinoma that arises in the broad ligament is extremely rare, especially when it is mucinous. We report the case of a 59-year-old woman with a cystic mass of the right broad ligament who underwent a complete excision of the mass (7 x 7 x 3 cm) with hysterectomy, right salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy, appendicectomy, and peritoneal biopsies. Pathologic examination showed a low-grade cystadenocarcinoma with a mucinous component limited to the broad ligament.
