Mucinous borderline and malignant tumors of the ovary. A clinicopathologic and DNA ploidy study of 92 cases

Abstract

Mucinous tumors with stromal invasion or presenting with PP had a definite malignant behavior. All other atypical mucinous tumors, when confined to the ovary and optimally sampled, had an excellent prognosis. DNA ploidy analysis may prove useful in determining the risk of progression, especially in Stage I IMCs.
