Florid Adnexal Polypoid Endometriosis Associated with Very High Serum CA-125 Levels Mimicking Ovarian Malignancy
نویسنده
چکیده
We report a case of florid polypoid endometriosis presenting with advanced bulky disease in pelvis with serum CA-125 levels of 7844U/ml. The extent of tumor, CT scan findings, elevated serum CA-125 levels were suggestive of ovarian malignancy. Histopathology demonstrated endometrial glands and stroma. Glands were neither crowded nor complex and were separated by a fibromatous stroma that contained endometrial stromal cells. These features were consistent with diagnosis of polypoid endometriosis, a recently described entity with a clinical presentation completely different from conventional endometriosis. Our case emphasizes the association of high levels of CA-125 with benign gynaecologic conditions.

متن کاملOvarian endometrioma associated with very high serum CA-125 levels.
CA-125 is a 220-kD cell surface glycoprotein present in over 80% of non-mucinous epithelial ovarian carcinomas and it occurs in the serum of healthy males and females at low concentrations (< 35 U/mL). Serum CA-125 concentration may also be moderately elevated in several benign conditions, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine fibroids, pregnancy, spontaneous abortion with chromosomal ab...
