  • Title: Amylase elevation attributable to an ovarian neoplasm.
    Author: Corlette MB, Dratch M, Sorger K.
    Journal: Gastroenterology; 1978 May; 74(5 Pt 1):907-9. PubMed ID: 640346.
    Abstract:
    An ovarian carcinoma producing amylase-rich ascites and pleural effusions is reported; salivary type amylase was identified in tumor tissue. A variety of nonpancreatic diseases and tumors of lung, parotid, ovary, and other organs have been associated with elevated amylase in serum or body fluids. Amylase isoenzyme electrophoresis is of value in differentiating pancreatic from nonpancreatic sources of increased amylase.
