Question 1

what is a mucinuos cystic neoplasm of the pancrease (pancrelipase)?

Accepted Answer

Complicated: There are three possible entities to which you are referring. Mucinous cystadenoma (benign), mucinous cystadenosarcoma (malignant), and intraductal papillary mucinous tumor (benign or malignant).  All three have certain appearances on imaging studies. They can be treated surgically and if malignant, have a better prognosis than "traditional" pancreatic cancer (adenocarcinoma).

Question 2

can you tell me what a 2.4 cm left ovarian cystic lesion with 8mm enhancing mural nodule suspicious of neoplasm.

Accepted Answer

It is suspicious: You should ask your doctor what it means in terms of future follow up. Since it is suspicious, a repeat imaging study needs to be done in 2 months. I would also advise you to find out if a ca125 test has been done or not? This might provide further guidance as to the possibility of ovarian cancer(if the ca125 is high now, removal of this lesion(cyst) should be considered sooner than later).

Question 3

complex cystic mass left ovary showing interval increase. likely presumed endometrioma. cannot completely exclude cystic neoplasm. what's this mean?

Accepted Answer

Endometriosis: This sound like a cyst of endometriosis in the ovary. At your age, the risk of cancer is very small, but you need to discuss a treatment plan with your GYN. This will likely require surgery for removal.

Question 4

i had mri a few months ago, the findings are bilobed complex septated left upper pole renal solid and cystic mass measures 1.4 x 1.4 x 2.7 cm with internal septal enhancement suspicious for a complex cystic renal neoplasm. should i have surgery soon?

Accepted Answer

: Complex cyst. You should check with your urologist or doctor who ordered this test to see what the next step should be. The fact that it is a complex cyst often means a urologist will need to intervene to make sure she/he knows what type of cyst this might be.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Sounds like it: Most of these are benign but many, especially mucinous cystadenomas, may harbor cancer. If you are offered surgery, please accept it.

Question 6

so mri report reads left ovary abnormal complex cystic area measuring 4.7 x 7.4 x 5.3 cm in size which is suspicious for an ovarian neoplasm such as a serous cystadenoma or other process. explanation please? we are trying for baby . complications?

Accepted Answer

: The suggestion from the imaging study is for a benign tumor. It would be prudent to get it removed before undertaking pregnancy. It would be prudent to consult your gynecologist.
Wish you good health!

Many.: Malignant tumors can be treated with any number of chemotherapy agents including doxorubicin, cytoxan, taxol, taxotere, 5fu, vincristine, vinblastine, bleomycin, methotrexate, Gemzar and Navelbine (vinorelbine) and Cisplatin to name a few. Which agents are used depends upon the type of tumor being treated. Other modalities can also have an effect on tumors- radiation therapy, hyperthermia, cryosurgery, etc.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

It is not rare: Spindle neoplasms are often labeled sarcomas which are an uncommon class of cancers, yet they make up about 10, 000 to 12, 000 cases in the us per year.

Question 9
