Mucinous Cystadenoma: A Rare Hepatic Tumor in a Child

Abstract: Mucinous cystadenomas (MCAs) of the liver (also called hepatic biliary cystadenomas) are rare tumors that comprise about 5% of cystic masses of the liver in adults. These slow-growing lesions most commonly occur in middle-aged individuals, with a female sex predominance. Herein, we present a MCA in a 6-year-old male, one of only very few such cases described in the pediatric literature to date. Although MCAs are generally considered benign lesions, malignant transformation rarely occurs. The recurrence rate is… Show more

“…This slow-growing tumor occurs predominantly in middle-aged women, which also correlates with the case of our patient. Despite the fact that it is generally considered a benign lesion, its malignant transformation can rarely occur during life [ 6 ]. In up to 75% of cases documented so far, mucinous cystadenoma occurs in the left lobe of the liver [ 7 ].…”
