“…Ustunyurt et al (6) reported that serum CA19-9 is the most reliable tumor marker of mature ovarian cystic teratomas, and that the levels of serum CA19-9 are often associated with the size of the teratoma; however, this does not appear to have high specificity or sensitivity. Bast et al (7) reported that serum CA-125 is a reliable marker, and that in combination with elevated CA19-9, it may be a differential character of malignant tumors.…”

Abstract.A 24-year-old female who was previously diagnosed with an immature, right ovarian teratoma was referred to The Second Hospital of Dalian Medical University (Dalian, China) due to abdominal pain. The patient had previously undergone a laparotomy and right ovarian oophorectomy. Despite this, at 10 years post-surgery, the patient developed extensive abdominal metastases, in conjunction with elevated serum cancer antigen (CA)-125 and CA19-9 levels. The patient had a high risk of recurrence, and the liver and spleen metastases were subsequently diagnosed as mature teratomas. In order to prevent the possibility of disease recurrence, frequent post-surgical follow-up, consisting of imaging analysis and the testing of serum markers, is required. Regarding the published literature, there have been no other patients presenting with a giant teratoma with associated metastasis. Due to the lack of regular follow-up appointments in China, the tumor in the present study was not recognized until too late. Therefore, to increase the successful detection of recurrent teratomas, a longer follow-up period is necessary for patients who present with a high risk of recurrence.

“…A study of 215 pathologically confirmed MCT's found the preoperative mean serum CA 19-9 level to be 83.5 ± 179.2 U/ mL with an overall elevated rate of 39.6% [6]. Comparatively, CA 125 was elevated above its threshold value in 23.3% of the patient population, and AFP was elevated above threshold in only 0.6% of the population.…”

“…Mature cystic teratomas compromise 10-20% of all ovarian neoplasms and they commonly present in woman aged 20 to 40 years old [6]. We present this case in order to build on the growing body of evidence suggesting that CA 19-9 levels are useful in the diagnosis and management of MCT [7,10].…”

“…2 Because of these features benign cystic teratoma can present with elevation of tumour markers of CA 19-9 and CA 125. 15 The most common malignant transformation of is invasive Squamous cell carcinoma, others being Adenocarcinoma, Sarcoma, Carcinoid, Thyroid carcinoma and Melanoma. 16,17 The correlation between high serum tumour markers and tumour size is due to leakage of cyst contents into bloodstream because of rupture or weakened cyst wall due to larger tumour diameter.…”

Internal jugular vein thrombosis is a rare vascular disease that can be overlooked or misdiagnosed and is generally seen in persons with intravenous drug abuse or in patients with prolonged central venous catheterization due to iatrogenic trauma. The most common germ cell tumour of the ovary is benign (mature) cystic teratoma, occurring in adolescents and young women. We are presenting a case of a 50-year-old premenopausal woman, diagnosed to have right internal jugular vein thrombosis extending into the right subclavian and axillary vein. Her laboratory investigations revealed no predisposing cause of thrombosis. Four months later she was evaluated for menorrhagia and imaging studies showed multiple uterine fibroids with left ovarian mass (ovarian teratoma) with moderate ascites and her tumour markers levels of CA125 was elevated. She underwent staging laparotomy, total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection with infracolic omentectomy. Pathologically, ovarian cyst showed mature thyroid tissue with islands of bone, muscle tissue and fatty tissue consistent with benign cystic teratoma. Postoperatively her tumour marker CA125 level returned to normal levels and there was no reaccumulation of fluid. As there were no predisposing factors for internal jugular vein thrombosis, it was concluded to be a paraneoplastic syndrome preceding the diagnosis of benign cystic teratoma. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case report in the literature with an association between internal jugular vein thrombosis and benign cystic teratoma with raised serum tumour marker CA 125.
