ABSTRACT
CA 125 is a high molecular weight glycoprotein expressed in the cell surface of some derivatives of embryonic coelomic epithelium. It presents in over 80% of non-mucinous epithelial ovarian carcinomas and it also occurs in the serum of healthy males and females at low concentrations (1,000 IU/mL) and after excision of the ovarian tumor, the CA 125 levels returned to normal. Our case further emphasizes the association of high levels of CA 125 with benign gynecologic conditions and we discussed the possible explanations for this abnormal elevation of CA 125 levels.
