  • Title: CA-125 tumor-associated antigen in a patient with tuberculous peritonitis.
    Author: Ibrahim G, Gelzayd B, DeMatia F, Maas L.
    Journal: South Med J; 1999 Nov; 92(11):1103-4. PubMed ID: 10586841.
    Abstract:
    A 64-year-old woman with a history of chronic hepatitis B had abdominal pain and ascites, a serum albumin ascitic gradient (SAAG) of 0.8, and an elevated serum CA-125 value. Exploratory laparotomy revealed ascites and obliteration of the abdominal cavity by advanced adhesive disease consistent with carcinomatosis. Surgical biopsy revealed noncaseating granulomas. She responded well to antituberculous therapy and is presently asymptomatic.
