title: [Mucus formation in epithelial derivations of Müller's canal as exemplified by mucinous cancer of the endometrium].
abstract: Analysis of the structural features of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the endometrium and of a large reference group including the hyperplastic and neoplastic processes in the endometrium, specimens of human embryos and fetuses, enabled the authors to come to a conclusion that mucus production and deposition in the endometrial cell cytoplasm is embryogenetically predetermined, though it is restricted in health. During a pathological hyperplasia and malignant degeneration the capacity of such production may recover and induce the formation of the foci of endocervical metaplasia as well as a mucinous adenocarcinoma of the endometrium. The existence of this nosological entity may serve as an argument in favour of the ovarian mucinous tumors origination from the epithelium of the Mullerian canal.
