BACKGROUND: Detailed reports on @entity3079 (formerly "mucinous @entity133 ") have not been published. We evaluated the correlation between thin-section computed tomography findings and the clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis of @entity3079 . METHODS: From April 1997 to March 2008, 45 @entity2 were diagnosed as @entity3079 . Five cases of @entity2 or @entity3079 were excluded. @entity5 were classified as "solitary-type" or " @entity5 according to the thin-section computed tomography findings. We evaluated the clinicopathologic characteristics and the @entity470 and @entity984 gene mutation statuses and correlated the thin-section computed tomography findings with @entity1 prognoses. RESULTS: Thirty @entity1 had solitary-type and 10 had @entity5 . The lesions in 23, 14, and 3 @entity1 were classified as pathologic stage I, stage II, and stage III, respectively. Five @entity1 had @entity420 in situ, 9 had minimally invasive @entity420 , and 26  had invasive @entity3079 . Thirteen @entity1 showed recurrences, which were classified as intrapulmonary metastases in all @entity1 . The 5-year overall and relapse-free survival rates were 83.3% and 88.8%, respectively, in @entity1 with @entity5 and 20.0% and 0%, respectively, in @entity1 with @entity5 (p < 0.001). The median follow-up time for surviving @entity1 was 81 months. @entity984 mutations were detected in 30 @entity1 , but @entity470 mutations were absent in all @entity1 . CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicated that thin-section computed tomography findings for @entity3079 were useful in predicting prognosis before surgical resection. Further studies are required to improve the treatment strategy for @entity3079 .
