Abstract

A 24-year-old single woman was referred to our department due to intermittent abdominal pain. Because her serum CA 125 con­centration was extremely elevated an ovarian malignancy was suspected. At the laparoscopic examination, it was determined to be a ruptured endometrioma and serum CA 125 concentrations rapidly decreased after surgery.
