Abstract

Abstract: Although CA 19-9 is a tumour marker, high levels of CA 19-9 have also been reported in benign conditions such as acute cholangitis, cholecystitis or pancreatitis. We present here a 72 -year-old man with complicated cholecystitis due to gallstone and elevated serum CA19-9 levels. After cholecystectomy procedure CA19-9 level returned to normal. The level of CA 19-9 should never be regarded as a gold standard but rather as a helpful indicator when searching pancreatic and biliary malignancies.

Özet

Öz: CA 19-9 bir tümör belirleyicisi olarak kullanılmasına rağmen akut kolanjit, kolesistit ve pankreatit gibi benign durumlarda da yüksek düzeyleri bildirilmiştir. Bu vakada 72 yaşında safra taşına bağlı komplike olmuş bir kolesistit ile birlikte yükselmiş CA 19-9 düzeyine sahip bir hastamızı sunuyoruz. CA 19-9 düzeyi kolesistektomi sonrasında normale döndü. CA 19-9 düzeyi altın standart bir test olmamakla birlikte, pankreas ve safra kesesi malignitelerini araştırmada yardımcı bir test olarak kabul edilmelidir.
