Postmenopausal Meigs' Syndrome in Elevated CA-125: A Case Report
Meigs' syndrome is a benign ovarian tumor associated with ascites and pleural effusion. Elevated cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) in Meigs' syndrome is an unusual clinical condition reported in few cases. We report here on a 61-year-old woman who presented with dyspnea; in imaging assessment, a heterogeneous pelvic mass measuring 12 × 11 cm with ascitic fluid was reported. Pleural effusion was detec...
متن کاملGenitourinary tuberculosis, CA-125 and tuberculin anergy in disseminated tuberculosis.
The case report highlights the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for treatable causes of tubo-ovarian mass such as genitourinary tuberculosis despite the presence of a high blood level of CA-125, especially in countries with high background prevalence of tuberculosis. In a patient from a country with high background prevalence of both tuberculosis and human immune deficiency v...

We describe the case of a 67 year old female with longstanding uterine leiomyomas who presented with fatigue, weight loss, elevated CA-125 and an enlarging mass arising from the posterior uterine fundus. Histologic sections of the mass contained a leiomyoma with interspersed foci of malignant epithelioid cells forming anastomosing vascular channels. The neoplastic cells were diffusely positive ...
متن کاملIntra-abdominal desmoplastic small round cell tumor with elevated serum CA 125: a case report.
Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a rare and highly aggressive tumor usually involving the peritoneum. It occurs more commonly in young males and is characterized by distinctive clinical, histologic, and immunophenotypic features. The histogenesis of DSRCT remains unknown. Coexpression of epithelial, mesenchymal, and neural antigens in the same cell provides evidence that DSRCT may...
