Abstract
The literature contains numerous reports of mucinous cystadenomas of the appendix, ovary, and pancreas. However, thus far, there are no reports on lesions of the cecum. We therefore report the case of a 48-year-old female who was admitted to our gynecology department because of a painless pelvic mass found incidentally by sonography at a district hospital. The pelvic mass measured approximately 13.9×8.3×8.0 cm, and it contained septa and heterogeneous cysts. The patient agreed to undergo an exploratory laparotomy with a complete en bloc resection of the tumor. The resection proceeded smoothly, and a histological examination revealed a mucinous cystadenoma that had originated in the cecum. The patient's recovery was uneventful, and she was discharged seven days after the operation. The one-year follow up at our OPD revealed no tumor recurrence, and she was in good condition.
