Mucinous breast carcinoma is a rare subtype of mammary neoplasm encountered in medical practice. It represents approximately 1-6% of all breast cancers and is more common in postmenopausal women. There are two subtypes of mucinous breast carcinoma: pure and mixed. We report the case of a 73-year-old Caucasian woman diagnosed with mucinous pancreatic cystadenoma in 2007. She underwent a surgical procedure involving pancreatectomy of the body and tail, along with multiple known cardiovascular and metabolic comorbidities. In November 2019, during a clinical-biological evaluation for associated diseases, a mucinous carcinoma of the right breast was accidentally detected and later confirmed through further investigations. For treatment, a surgical procedure was performed involving lower right quadrantectomy with right axillary lymph node dissection. The postoperative clinical course was favorable. In conclusion, we present the case of a patient diagnosed with mixed mucinous breast carcinoma, without axillary lymph node invasion. Postmenopausal women with diabetes, overweight, and obesity have an increased susceptibility to breast cancer, with our patient having all these risk factors. To date, no study has demonstrated the genetic or radiation implication in the occurrence of mucinous carcinomas, nor the possible development of mucinous carcinomas in series in the same patient. Current data are insufficient to provide recommendations for the screening of malignant mucinous tumors in subjects with significant cardiometabolic risk factors.

A B S T R A C T BACKGROUNDCystic lesions of the pancreas consist of both neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions. Computed tomography (CT) scan is commonly used in imaging cystic lesions of pancreas as it is easily available and less time consuming. In this study, we evaluate the different characteristic features of cystic lesions of pancreas and differentiate them based on imaging. METHODSThis is a retrospective study done over a period of 5 years. 94 patients with cystic lesions of pancreas were selected and analysed. All patients had proven final diagnosis by surgery, by endoscopy guided aspiration or by follow up. Various parameters of the cysts were studied like the age and sex distribution, incidence, size of the lesion, location, thickness of septations, nature of calcification, pancreatic duct dilatation if any, size of the largest cyst within the lesion, approximate number of cysts, presence of any solid component, nature of enhancement, presence of the wall and contour of the lesion. Descriptive statistics like percentage was used and each cyst was differentiated based on the above features. RESULTSOverall, pseudocysts were the commonest cysts, and all were associated with pancreatitis. They were commonly seen in the middle-aged males. Serous cystadenomas were the commonest neoplastic cysts. Benign neoplastic cysts were common in females and malignant neoplastic cysts were common in males. Serous cystadenomas were common in head of the pancreas whereas mucinous cystadenomas were common in tail of the pancreas. All solid pseudo papillary epithelial neoplasm (SPEN) were seen in the tail of the pancreas. No difference in each cyst based on overall size was seen. Mucinous cystadenomas showed fewer but bigger cysts within the lesion compared to serous cystadenomas. Peripheral wall calcification was seen in mucinous cystadenomas whereas central calcifications were seen in serous cystadenomas. Communication with a dilated pancreatic duct and bulging papillae was seen in intraductal papillary mucinous tumour (IPMT). Most of IPMT and serous cystadenomas showed a lobulated invisible wall whereas mucinous cystadenomas showed a smooth visible wall. All malignant cysts were associated with solid component and thick septations. CONCLUSIONSCT scans helps us to diagnose various cystic lesions of pancreas based on different characteristic imaging features.
