Liver Abscess With a Markedly High Level of Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9
Serological tumor markers are useful for detection of malignancies and evaluation of disease progression. However, some markers are rarely elevated in patients with benign diseases and without malignancies. We herein present a case of a liver abscess with a highly elevated carbohydrate antigen (CA 19-9) level in both the serum and abscess fluid. The serological level of CA 19-9 decreased with t...

متن کاملA simple hepatic cyst with elevated serum and cyst fluid CA19-9 levels: a case report
INTRODUCTION Simple hepatic cysts rarely cause symptoms, however, occasionally they become symptomatic due to mass effect, rupture, hemorrhage, and infection. We report a patient with a large hepatic cyst with elevated serum and cyst fluid CA19-9 levels. We studied serum and cyst fluid CA19-9 levels in this patient, before and after the intracystic instillation of minocycline hydrochloride. C...
متن کاملElevated Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 Level in a Patient with Horseshoe Type Pulmonary Sequestration
Elevated carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 can indicate malignancies of the gastrointestinal, pancreatic, and biliary tracts, and be found in a pulmonary sequestration. A 30-year-old man visited Seoul National University Bundang Hospital due to elevated CA 19-9 levels, representing pulmonary sequestration of the bilateral lower lobes, which were connected with each other. We performed left lower l...
متن کاملValidity of carcinoembryonic antigen and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 measurements in pancreatic cyst fluid with a serum-based immunoassay.
Imaging techniques, cytology, and biochemical analysis [including carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) concentrations] of pancreatic cyst fluid obtained by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fineneedle aspiration are used to differentiate pancreatic cyst lesions, particularly those with malignant potential (1, 2 ). American College of Gastroenterology guidelines have...
