| mucinoid degeneration | A term including both mucoid and colloid degeneration, the essential cellular changes in both being similar, the only difference being that, in colloid degeneration, the substance is firmer and more inspissated than in mucoid degeneration, in which it is thin and jelly-like.

| mucinoses | Mucoid states characterised by the elevated deposition and accumulation of mucin (mucopolysaccharides) in dermal tissue. The fibroblasts are responsible for the production of acid mucopolysaccharides (glycosaminoglycans) in the ground substance of the connective tissue system. When fibroblasts produce abnormally large quantities of mucopolysaccharides as hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, or heparin, they accumulate in large amounts in the dermis. (12 Dec 1998) |

| mucinous carcinoma | <tumour> A variety of adenocarcinoma in which the neoplastic cells secrete conspicuous quantities of mucin, and, as a result, the neoplasms are likely to be glistening, sticky, and gelatinoid in consistency. Synonym: colloid cancer, colloid carcinoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mucinous cystic neoplasm of pancreas | <radiology> = macrocystic adenoma of pancreas, cystadenoma / cystadenocarcinoma, M:F = 1:9, 40-60 years of age, malignant or pre-malignant, large mass (mean 12 cm), multilocular cysts, thick septations, tail / body in 85% (unlike adenocarcinoma and microcystic adenoma), hypo-/avascular, Differential diagnosis: panc pseudocyst, ** Cf: microcystic adenoma (12 Dec 1998) |
