Meigs' syndrome with elevated CA 125: case report.
CONTEXT Meigs' syndrome consists of a benign ovarian tumor accompanied by ascites and hydrothorax. Elevated serum CA 125 levels in postmenopausal women with solid adnexal masses, ascites and pleural effusion are highly suggestive for malignant ovarian tumor. However, patients with Meigs' syndrome can also have elevated serum CA 125 levels. The authors report a case of Meigs' syndrome with eleva...
متن کاملPostmenopausal 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 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 کاملMeigs’ syndrome with elevated CA-125 and HE-4: a case of luteinized fibrothecoma
Presence of fibrothecoma is not usually accompanied by elevated levels of tumor markers. In recent years, however, there have been isolated reports of fibrothecoma and Meigs' syndrome, accompanied by an increase in tumor markers. We present a case of fibrothecoma with Meigs' syndrome and elevated levels of both CA-125 (cancer antigen 125) and HE-4 (human epididymis protein 4). In this paper, we...
متن کاملPseudo Meigs' syndrome with benign stromal hyperplasia and elevated CA-125.
Factors implicated in basal ganglia dysfunction are; ischemia, toxins and allergy.[1,4] The ischemic-hypoxic pattern seems unlikely in our case, as there was no evidence of hemodynamic failure and Ammons horn, purkinje fibers and dentate gyrus (susceptible to ischemia) were intact on imaging. Bee sting envenomation occurs with multiple stings, usually more than 10. Single honeybee sting in the ...
