Overview

NCI Definition: A benign, borderline, or malignant epithelial tumor of the ovary characterized by the presence of neoplastic epithelial cells that contain intracytoplasmic mucin and may resemble the epithelial cells of the endocervix or gastrointestinal tract. [1]

Ovarian mucinous tumors most frequently harbor alterations in KRAS, TP53, CDKN2A, CDKN2B, and PIK3CA [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Ovarian Mucinous Tumor

KRAS Mutation, KRAS Exon 2 Mutation, KRAS Codon 12 Missense, TP53 Mutation, and TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense are the most common alterations in ovarian mucinous tumor [2].
