Mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCN) are a group of rare pancreatic lesions that include benign cystadenomas and malignant cystadenocarcinomas. Middle aged women are almost exclusively affected‚ with a female to male predominance of 20:1 and an average age of diagnosis of 50. Affected individuals are frequently asymptomatic and lesions are discovered incidentally. Few present with nonspecific symptoms‚ such as abdominal pain‚ or sequelae of metastatic spread.

Trichomonas vaginalis is a protozoan parasite that is characteristically found in the human urogenital tract‚ responsible for the most frequent non-viral‚ sexually transmitted infection around the world. A plethora of techniques may be employed in the detection of this condition‚ ranging from just clinical diagnosis to specific laboratory-based testing. The former (i.e. clinical diagnosis) is adequate for women with symptoms of infection (primarily itching‚ discharge and vaginal odor). Also‚ laboratory-based
