A Case Report and a Short Literature Review of Pulmonary Sequestration Showing Elevated Serum Levels of Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9.
Pulmonary sequestration is a type of bronchopulmonary malformation defined as an isolated portion of lung tissue with systemic arterial supply and no bronchial communication. Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) has been used for diagnosis and follow-up of gastrointestinal tumors. The current study presents a rare case of intralobar pulmonary sequestration associated with the marked elevation of ...
متن کاملMeigs' syndrome with elevated serum cancer antigen 125 levels in a case of ovarian sclerosing stromal tumor.
OBJECTIVE Meigs' syndrome presenting as an ovarian tumor with elevated serum cancer antigen 125 (CA 125) levels is unusual. Only 37 cases have been reported, including three cases of ovarian sclerosing stromal tumor (SCT). Many reports have suggested that the presence of ascites is the major factor inducing mesothelial expression of CA 125. CASE REPORT An 18-year-old woman presented with mass...
متن کاملSclerosing peritonitis associated with luteinized thecoma and elevated serum CA 125 levels: case report.
CONTEXT Thecomas are benign tumors that account for less than 1% of all ovarian neoplasms. The association of ovarian thecoma with sclerosing peritonitis is rare. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 33-year-old woman, with a two-month history of increasing abdominal volume. Ultrasound showed a complex pelvic lesion and laboratory analysis detected elevated serum CA 125 levels. The patient und...

were stained by the same antibody; they were mature eosinophils with segmented nuclei. In a bone marrow biopsy specimen from a patient with hypereosinophilic syndrome, there were also many mature EG2-positive eosinophils. These observations suggest that in asthma eosinophils have already been activated in the early immature stage in the bone marrow. This finding might be related to the pathogen...
متن کاملSarcoidosis Presenting with Massive Pleural Effusion and Elevated Serum and Pleural Fluid Carbohydrate Antigen-125 Levels
A 55-year-old woman was admitted for an elevated serum carbohydrate antigen-125 (CA-125) level, and a left pleural effusion, which were detected at a routine health examination. Computed tomography of the chest was performed upon admission, revealing extensive bilateral paratracheal and mediastinal lymph node enlargement with a massive left-sided pleural effusion. Subsequent analysis of the ple...
