Ovarian cancer in a woman previously diagnosed with endometriosis and an extremely high serum CA-125 level
Purpose: Follow-up of a woman with a serum CA-125 level > 1000 U/mL where laparoscopy only found endometriosis. Methods: Case report - re-evaluation several years later. Results: Extensive clear-cell carcinoma of ovary with metastases leading to death. Conclusion: This case suggests that bilateral oophorectomy should be performed in women not desiring any more children if the serum CA-125 level is very high even if only endometriosis is found initially.
