Abstract

GONZALEZ BOSQUET, Eduardo. Elevated Ca 19.9 tumor marker without evidence of malignancy. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2007, vol.67, n.3, pp.285-286. ISSN 0025-7680.

Tumor markers are a useful tool for surveillance of oncologic patients, whereas their role in the diagnosis of a malignancy is controversial. We present the case of a woman with a benign ovarian cyst with an unexpected elevation of Ca 19.9 after laparoscopic bilateral anexectomy.

Keywords : Tumor markers; Ca 19.9; Ovarian tumor.
