Malignant transformation of benign mesenteric cyst
1Department of Surgery, Rhode Island Hospital, Providence.
Abstract:
We describe the clinical and pathological features of a case of mesenteric cyst which was incompletely excised, recurred over several years, and eventually underwent malignant transformation. A review of the literature shows how mesenteric cysts are still poorly understood clinical entities, often difficult to classify even after histopathological evaluation. This is the first reported case of transformation of a benign mesenteric cyst into adenocarcinoma. Complete excision of all mesenteric cysts should be carried out, to prevent recurrence and possible malignant transformation.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
