  1. Hei! According to topic 58 you write that it is the cystadenocarcinomas which are multi- loculated, while the cystadenomas are single simple cysts. Wouldnt that make this a cystadenocarcinoma?

    1. I see your point, but there are probably more macroscopical features that distinguish adenocarcinoma from adenoma than the “loculisation”.
