Sažetak
Mucinous colorectal carcinomas show some clinicopathological characteristics that are not found in nonmucinous carcinomas. A total of 1451 colorectal carcinomas were analyzed. Carcinomas were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of mucinous content. Then, three independent pathologists reviewed all slides with carcinomas with mucinous content by microscopic morphometry and divided them into two subgroups: mucinous carcinomas (>50% mucin) and colorectal carcinomas with mucin (<50% mucin). The following parameters were analyzed: share of mucinous colorectal cancer and cancer with mucin, sex and age distribution of all three groups of carcinomas, and localization and Dukes stage of mucinous carcinomas and carcinomas with mucin. Mucinous carcinomas were confirmed to have poorer prognosis, predilection for younger age group, higher incidence in the proximal colon, and no male predomination. Colorectal carcinomas with mucin had some characteristics of both mucinous cancer and nonmucinous cancer, and could be positioned somewhere in between these two different groups.
