Pancreatic Tuberculosis with Markedly Elevated CA 19-9 Levels: A Diagnostic Pitfall.
Despite the high prevalence of tuberculosis (TB) in developing countries, isolated pancreatic TB is rare and is usually seen in immunocompromised patients. It presents with non-specific signs and symptoms and may mimic malignancy both clinically and radiologically. Cytologic and histologic confirmation is required to establish the definitive diagnosis.

متن کاملUnusually Elevated CA 19-9 in Choledocholithiasis
12 mg/ dl, Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) 3.2 ng/ ml and a CA 19-9 of 38310 U/ml. Ultrasonographic examination and computed tomography of the abdomen were of poor quality due to body habitus.

متن کاملElevated Ca 19-9 Levels in Patient With Cholecystitis
Although CA 19-9 is a tumour marker, high levels of CA 19-9 have also been reported in benign conditions such as acute cholangitis or pancreatitis. We present here a 56-year-old woman with complicated cholecystitis due to gallstone and elevated serum CA19-9 levels. After cholecystectomy procedure CA19-9 level returned to normal. The level of CA 19-9 should never be regarded as a gold standard b...
متن کاملDiagnostic pitfall; interpretation of CA 19-9 concentrations in the presence of hepatic dysfunction.
A 50 year old man is described with hepatic dysfunction and chronic pancreatitis in whom greatly increased concentrations of the pancreatic tumour marker CA 19-9 combined with an abnormal appearance at endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography lead to the false suspicion of pancreatic carcinoma. CA 19-9 concentrations should be interpreted with caution in patients with intrinsic liver dise...
