Diagnosis: Types of Tumors

Atypical proliferative clear cell tumors (APCCT)

Back
Among approximately thirty cases of APCCT (clear cell adenofibroma of borderline malignancy or low malignant potential) in the literature, the mean age is 60-70 years. Peritoneal "implants" as occur in the more common atypical proliferative serous tumor, have not been described with APCCTs. Among the limited reported cases, there is one alleged recurrence and no tumor deaths.
