Serum CA 125 and ovarian cancer
of death from gynaecological cancer among women in Western countries. Epithelial ovarian cancer is responsible for 85-90% of all primary ovarian tumours. Because of the asymptomatic nature of the disease, ovarian cancer is usually not detected in the early stages and therefore many women present with advanced disease and systemic metastases. Approximately 70-80% of patients present with late st...
متن کاملFlorid Adnexal Polypoid Endometriosis Associated with Very High Serum Ca - 125 Levels Mimicking Ovarian Malignancy
We report a case of florid polypoid endometriosis presenting with advanced bulky disease in pelvis with serum CA – 125 levels of 7844U/ml. The extent of tumor, CT scan findings, elevated serum CA – 125 levels were suggestive of ovarian malignancy. Histopathology demonstrated endometrial glands and stroma. Glands were neither crowded nor complex and were separated by a fibromatous stroma that co...
متن کاملBilateral Ovarian Fibrothecoma Associated with Ascites, Bilateral Pleural Effusion, and Marked Elevated Serum CA-125
Background. The risk of ovarian cancer is increased in the association of ovarian tumor, ascites, and hydrothorax with the significant elevated tumor marker CA-125. However, this association can be observed in a rare clinical and benign pathological entity, that is Demons-Meigs' syndrome. Objective. To describe a rare case of Demons-Meigs' syndrome observed in our department. Methods. A black A...
متن کاملSerum and Peritoneal Fluid CA 125 Levels Infertile Women with Pelvic Endometriosis in Urummia
SUMMARY Infertility has a special importance in gynecology in causing social, psychological and somatic prohlems. Endometriosis is a benign but progressive disorder in reproductive life and is more common in infertile women. CA 125 is a cell membrane glycoprotein. The endometrium is one the known source of this antigen and seems to be elevated in the pelvic endometriosis. In this study, from...
متن کاملOvarian endometrioma associated with very high serum CA-125 levels.
CA-125 is a 220-kD cell surface glycoprotein present in over 80% of non-mucinous epithelial ovarian carcinomas and it occurs in the serum of healthy males and females at low concentrations (< 35 U/mL). Serum CA-125 concentration may also be moderately elevated in several benign conditions, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine fibroids, pregnancy, spontaneous abortion with chromosomal ab...
