✦ Synopsis

The belief that ovarian mucinous carcinomas are common, clinically unpredictable and often associated with pseudomyxoma peritonei is outmoded. A study from the Gynecologic Oncology Group, published in this edition, makes the case that high‐stage mucinous tumors involving the ovary frequently represent metastases from extraovarian primary sites, are often misdiagnosed, and behave virulently.
