Elevated carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 can indicate malignancies of the gastrointestinal, pancreatic, and biliary tracts, and be found in a pulmonary sequestration. A 30-year-old man visited Seoul National University Bundang Hospital due to elevated CA 19-9 levels, representing pulmonary
Pulmonary sequestration is a type of bronchopulmonary malformation defined as an isolated portion of lung tissue with systemic arterial supply and no bronchial communication. Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) has been used for diagnosis and follow-up of gastrointestinal tumors. The current study
This report presents two young women were admitted to the department of thoracic surgery, Beijng Chao-Yang Hospital because of the extremely elevation of the serum Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9). The enhanced Computed Tomography scan showed that the lesion of the lung and the anomalous artery,
This report describes a 37-year-old woman who experienced elevated serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) and carbohydrate antigen 50 (CA50). Intralobar pulmonary sequestration was confirmed via enhanced chest computed tomography (CT) scanning and positron emission tomography/computed tomography
Pulmonary sequestration is uncommon. We report a case with radiographically visible calcification and elevated serum values of the tumor markers carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9.
This report describes a 62-year-old man who experienced elevated serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) levels (>500 U/mL) for 4 years, and was finally diagnosed with right intralobar pulmonary sequestration. Surgery confirmed the presence an aberrant artery arising from the descending thoracic
Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) is widely accepted as a tumor marker for cancers of the biliary, pancreatic and gastrointestinal tracts. Occasionally, CA19-9 is markedly elevated in the serum of patients with benign diseases. Pulmonary sequestration is a rare malformation that is characterized by
Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is an uncommon congenital lung anomaly which consists of a mass of normal lung tissue not connected to the normal tracheobronchial tree and supplied by an anomalous systemic artery. Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) is widely accepted as a tumour A 62-year-old man with hemoptysis and an abnormal shadow on chest roentgenogram was diagnosed as having anomalous systemic arterial supply to the normal basal segment of the left lower lobe. The preoperative serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 and carcinoembryonic antigen levels were 73.8 units/ml and
Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) is a specific tumor marker of the biliary, pancreatic and gastrointestinal tracts. CA19-9 is occasionally elevated in serum in patiens with benign pulmonary diseases such as bronchiectasis, idiopathic interstitial pneumonia or collagen disease-associated pulmonary
A 38-year-old female presented with cough and fever. A chest X-ray examination revealed an abnormal shadow in the posteroinferior portion of the left hemithorax, and a laboratory examination showed that the serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) level was markedly high (1000 U/ml). A left
BACKGROUND
Extralobar pulmonary sequestration is an uncommon congenital abnormality that is rarely diagnosed after the age of 40 years. We describe a 64-year-old woman with an intra-abdominal sequestration of the lung and elevated carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 serum levels.
METHODS
On abdominal
Serum carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 was present at high levels in pulmonary sequestration, mediastinal bronchogenic cysts, and mediastinal mature teratomas. The fluid in the cysts of the lesions contained a high level of CA 19-9. After operation, the titer of serum CA 19-9 returned to normal
