Benign mucinous tumors are called mucinous cystadenomas, and often develop on only one ovary.

Mucinous tumors, on the other hand, have mucus-filled cysts that often involve large multiloculated cysts, but can also be benign, malignant, or borderline.
The malignant type of serous tumors are called serous cystadenocarcinomas, and malignant mucinous tumors are called mucinous cystadenocarcinomas.

Serous and mucinous tumors arise from epithelial cells that line the outside of ovaries, whereas even though the tumors are found in the epithelium, the endometrioid and transitional cell tumors arise from other cell types.
Mucinous tumors (or mucinous tumours) are part of the surface epithelial-stromal tumor group of ovarian neoplasms, and account for approximately 36% of all ovarian tumors.
Approximately 75% are benign, 10% are borderline and 15% are malignant.
Rarely, the tumor is seen bilaterally, approximately 5% of primary mucinous tumors are bilateral.
