Case Report

Urachal Mucinous Cystic Tumor of Low Malignant Potential with Concurrent Sigmoid Colon Adenocarcinoma

Table 1

Classification of epithelial neoplasms of urachal origin with emphasis on the cystic mucinous neoplasms, modified from Paner et al., 2016, & Amin et al., 2014 [10, 12].

Glandular neoplasms

(i) Adenoma

(ii) Cystic mucinous neoplasms:

 (a) Mucinous cystadenoma (cystic tumor with a single layer of mucinous columnar epithelium, with no atypia)

 (b) Mucinous cystic tumor of low malignant potential (cystic tumor with areas of epithelial proliferation, including papillary formation
and low-grade atypia/dysplasia)

 (c) Mucinous cystic tumor of low malignant potential with intraepithelial carcinoma (cystic tumor with significant epithelial
stratification and unequivocal malignant cytological features and often with stroma-poor papillae and cribriform pattern)

 (d) Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma with microinvasion (stromal invasion <2mm and comprising <5% of the tumor)

 (e) Frankly invasive mucinous cystadenocarcinoma (stromal invasion that is more extensive than 2mm and 5%)

(iii) Non-cystic adenocarcinoma

Non-glandular neoplasms

(i) Urothelial neoplasm

(ii) Squamous cell neoplasm

(iii) Neuroendocrine neoplasm

(iv) Mixed-type neoplasm

NOS: not otherwise specified.
