Adnexal mass with extremely high levels of CA-125 and CA19-9 but normal Human Epididymis Protein 4 (HE4) and Risk of Ovarian Malignancy Algorithm (ROMA): Endometriosis or ovarian malignancy? A case report

BACKGROUNDIt has been shown that Carbohydrate antigen (CA) 125 and CA 19-9 tumor markers are useful for diagnosis and follow up of ovarian carcinoma. CASEIn this case, we reported the high level of CA-125 and CA 19-9 with large right ovarian intact endometrioma and extensive involvement of omentum....

Description
Summary:BACKGROUNDIt has been shown that Carbohydrate antigen (CA) 125 and CA 19-9 tumor markers are useful for diagnosis and follow up of ovarian carcinoma. CASEIn this case, we reported the high level of CA-125 and CA 19-9 with large right ovarian intact endometrioma and extensive involvement of omentum. CONCLUSIONHuman Epididymis protein (HE4) and Risk of ovarian malignancy algorithm (ROMA) can be useful in differentiation between malignancies and benign pathologies with a good sensitivity and specificity value.
