Abstract

Ovarian mucinous neoplasia are extremely heterogeneous tumors in morphology and clinical presentation, being a setback for the appropriate diagnosis. Cross-reactions and immunohistochemical ambiguity are adversities that limit accuracy, leading to the need for greater resourcefulness in the management of these patients. Because it is a neoplasm with a high probability of becoming invasive, surgical excision is usually the most assertive alternative.
