Meigs’ syndrome with elevated CA-125 and HE-4: a case of luteinized fibrothecoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Presence of fibrothecoma is not usually accompanied by elevated levels of tumor markers. In recent years, however, there have been isolated reports of fibrothecoma and Meigs' syndrome, accompanied by an increase in tumor markers. We present a case of fibrothecoma with Meigs' syndrome and elevated levels of both CA-125 (cancer antigen 125) and HE-4 (human epididymis protein 4). In this paper, we present a case of Meigs' syndrome associated with an increased CA-125 and HE-4 level due to ovarian fibrothecoma.

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 کاملCoexistence of benign struma ovarii, pseudo-Meigs’ syndrome and elevated serum CA 125: Case report and review of the literature
Struma ovarii is an uncommon ovarian teratoma comprised predominantly of mature thyroid tissue. The combination of pseudo-Meigs' syndrome, and elevation of CA 125 to the struma ovarii is a rare condition that can mimic ovarian malignancy. We reported a case of benign struma ovarii, presenting with the clinical features of advanced ovarian carcinoma: complex pelvic mass, gross ascites, bilateral...

BACKGROUND Struma ovarii, presenting as pseudo-Meigs' syndrome with an elevated CA 125 level, is a rare condition. CASE A 65-year-old patient presented with ascites, hydrothorax, right ovarian mass, and elevated CA 125 level. These findings were suspicious for an ovarian malignancy. The mass was removed and revealed struma ovarii, a specialized ovarian teratoma composed predominantly of matur...
متن کاملMeigs' syndrome with elevated serum cancer antigen 125 levels in a case of ovarian sclerosing stromal tumor.
OBJECTIVE Meigs' syndrome presenting as an ovarian tumor with elevated serum cancer antigen 125 (CA 125) levels is unusual. Only 37 cases have been reported, including three cases of ovarian sclerosing stromal tumor (SCT). Many reports have suggested that the presence of ascites is the major factor inducing mesothelial expression of CA 125. CASE REPORT An 18-year-old woman presented with mass...
متن کاملMeigs' syndrome with elevated CA 125: case report.
CONTEXT Meigs' syndrome consists of a benign ovarian tumor accompanied by ascites and hydrothorax. Elevated serum CA 125 levels in postmenopausal women with solid adnexal masses, ascites and pleural effusion are highly suggestive for malignant ovarian tumor. However, patients with Meigs' syndrome can also have elevated serum CA 125 levels. The authors report a case of Meigs' syndrome with eleva...
