Spontaneously Ruptured Giant Splenic Cyst with Elevated Serum Levels of CA 19-9, CA 125 and Carcinoembryonic Antigen
Splenic cyst is a relatively rare disease; however, the occurrence of complications associated with its rupture is even more rare. A 20-year-old female patient who had severe abdominal and left shoulder pain was admitted to our hospital. The patient's abdomen was hard and tender to the touch and she presented with a high fever. The patient's serum levels of the tumor markers carbohydrate antige...
متن کاملGiant hydronephrosis due to a ureteral stone, and elevated serum levels of CA 19-9.
CA 19-9 is a widely used tumor marker. However, an elevation in serum CA 19-9 can occur in some patients with benign disorders such as cholecystolithiasis in the absence of tumor. We treated a case of acquired ureteral stone-induced giant hydronephrosis with markedly elevated serum CA 19-9 values. After nephrectomy, the serum CA 19-9 level returned to normal. No malignant cells were found in th...
متن کاملBenign Hydronephrosis and Elevated of Serum Levels of Carbohydrate Antigen CA 19-9: A Case Report
BACKGROUND Carbohydrate tumor-associated antigen (CA 19-9) has been shown to be upregulated in other malignant tumors including gastric, ovarian, hepatocellular, and colorectal carcinoma as well as benign diseases of the biliary track such as pancreatitis, cholangitis, and choledocholithiasis. According to the available literature, in several cases of benign hydronephrosis and in a few cases of...
متن کاملA Giant Simple Liver Cyst That Caused Increases in Serum CA 19-9 and CA 15-3 Levels
Simple cysts (SCs) of the liver are not associated with the biliary malformations in intrahepatic bile duct biliary. Seen in 0.1% to 7% of adult population, biliary malformations are more common in women. The levels of glycoprotein-like tumor markers (carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9) in the cysts and serum could be high. Although studies regarding CA 19-9 exist, sufficient data on cancer antigen...
متن کاملComparison of portal and peripheral blood levels of carcinoembryonic antigen, CA 19-9, and CA 125 tumor-associated antigens in patients with colorectal and pancreatic cancer.
Synchronous serum specimens from the systemic and portal circulations of 43 patients with gastrointestinal cancer were assayed for levels of carcinoembryonic antigen, CA 19-9, and CA 125 tumor-associated antigens. The number of patients having a mean ratio of portal to systemic levels greater than 1 and the observed quantity of tumor-associated antigens were significant for carcinoembryonic ant...
