Published: October 2002

Ovarian masses are uncommon in children. Only 10 - 17 % of them are epithelial tumours. Mucinous cystadenoma in children is a benign cystic ovarian neoplasm, and it is met very rarely in the medical literature. We present a 13-year-old girl with a giant ovarian mucinous cystadenoma.

Introduction: Primary mucinous cystadenoma is a very rare lesion in the spleen, with only a few reported cases available in the literature. Ectopic pancreatic or enteric tissue and invaginated splenic capsular epithelium are assumed to be the origin of mucinous cystadenomas of the spleen. We present the first reported case in Ethiopia.

Germ cell tumors, the most common of the testicular neoplasms, originate from primordial germ cells. These tumors are known for their totipotent nature, capable of differentiating into various cell types. This case report presents a rare occurrence of mucinous cystadenoma in a patient who received chemotherapy for metastatic left non-seminomatous germ cell tumor (NSGCT) of the testis.

Whereas pancreatic masses are often difficult to detect with transabdominal ultrasound, cross-sectional imaging features high sensitivity for the pancreatic tumors. However, increasing availability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has led to a surge in the detection of benign or precancerous pancreatic lesions. The medical history is characteristic only for two entities.

Background: Distinguishing serous cystadenoma, a benign pancreatic cyst, from potentially malignant mucinous pancreatic cystic lesions carries significant clinical and prognostic implications; and while endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration is the standard diagnostic tool, its low diagnostic yield often results in additional workup.

Objective: This study evaluates diagnostic yield of fine needle biopsy (FNB) on lesions suggestive of serous cystadenoma on endoscopic ultrasound.

Methods: Patients with microcystic EUS appearance were identified through retrospective chart review in two institutions.
