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 کاملRheumatoid factor interference in the determination of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9).
BACKGROUND Investigation of a 61-year-old Caucasian male suffering from fatigue and weight loss led to the finding of a carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) concentration of 80 kU/L using an ADVIA Centaur analyser. Determination of CA 19-9 on Vidas, AxSYM and Architect i2000 systems gave normal results. His rheumatoid factor concentration was very high (900 kIU/L) and assay interference was susp...
متن کاملPersistent High Level of Urinary Tumor Marker Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 in Prenatally Diagnosed Dysplastic Kidney
Tumor marker carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) level has gained clinical significance in gastrointestinal malignancies and in various solid and cystic diseases. Dysplastic kidney is a congenital abnormality resulting from atresia of the ureteral bud during the embryogenesis which can be unilateral or bilateral. We report unilateral dysplastic kidney with extremely large cyst diagnosed by rout...
متن کاملAcute Cholecystitis with Significantly Elevated Levels of Serum Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9
Serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9), a marker of malignant tumors, is generally slightly elevated in benign conditions. We report a case of acute cholecystitis with a significantly elevated level of serum CA 19-9 based on positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomography (CT) findings. A 65-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain and fever. A CT image revealed an enlarged gallbl...
