A Rare Cause of Antigen Cancer Elevation 125 (CA 125): A Case of Uterine Adenomyosis

Adenomyosis is an ectopic localization of endometrial tissue (glands and stroma) and autonomous development in the thickness of the uterine muscle. The prevalence of adenomyosis ranges from 5 and 70% [1] after hysterectomy according to the surgical indication [2], whatever them indications. Transvaginal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging exam (MRI) have currently an important place in the diagnosis before surgery. The antigen cancer 125 (CA 125) is currently, apart the ovarian’s epithelium cancer, used in the diagnosis of deep endometriosis, and does not appear as a determining element in the diagnosis of denomyosis. We report here, a case of isolated adenomyosis (in the absence of any uterine fibroid) associated with an elevation of CA 125 and whose kinetics of values were influenced by hormonal treatment.
