Biliary cystadenoma of the liver with elevated CA 19-9

ABSTRACT: A case of intrahepatic biliary cystadenoma with mesenchymal stroma is reported. The tumor was associated with strikingly elevated serum and intracystic levels of the tumor-associated antigen CA19-9. Two months after surgical enucleation, serum CA 19-9 levels returned to normal.     

Prognostic significance of serum CA19-9 levels in resected pancreatic cancer

Twenty-eight patients with histologically proven pancreatic adenocarcinoma were investigated to evaluate the utility of serum CA19-9 levels as a prognostic indicator after pancreatic resection. Three patients were excluded from the study because their serum CA19-9 levels remained normal throughout the course of the disease. Of the remaining 25 patients, those with preoperative serum CA19-9 levels ≤200U/ml had a better prognosis than those with serum CA19-9 levels >200 U/ml; however, the difference between the two groups was not significant (P=0.13). Serum CA19-9 levels 30 days after pancreatic resection were normalized (≤37 U/ml) in 11 patients (group A), and the survival rate of this group was significantly higher than that of the group of patients with persistently elevated CA19-9 levels (>37 U/ml) (group B) (P<0.005). Other factors i.e., preoperative CA19-9 values, tumor size, lymph node metastasis, histology, and stage classification showed no significant differences between group A and group B. Univariate analysis of the findings for the 25 patients showed that the stage classification and postoperative CA19-9 levels were of prognostic significance for prolonged survival. Other factors, i.e., gender, age, histology, preoperative CA19-9 levels, location of the tumor, and mode of operation, had no significance as prognostic indicators. Multivariate analysis showed that postoperative CA19-9 level was the only significant independent predictor of poor survival. Postoperative serum CA19-9 level appears to be useful as a prognostic indicator after resection of pancreatic cancer.     

Dilemma of elevated CA 19-9 in biliary pathology

Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) is a tumor marker which has been extensively evaluated and widely utilized primarily in diagnosing and prognosticating pancreaticobiliary malignancies. Levels may be significantly influenced and elevated in cases of benign biliary conditions however, especially in obstructive jaundice, thereby posing difficulty in distinguishing between benign and malignant cholestasis. A myriad of studies have focused on elucidating proper use and interpretation of CA 19-9 in pancreatic cancer as well as in the setting of cholestasis. These studies have demonstrated that many factors influence CA 19-9 values and various methods for interpreting CA 19-9 in obstructive jaundice have been proposed. With improvements in diagnostic imaging, advancements in endoscopic modalities, and likelihood that management will not change based on the results of the test, clinicians should be cautious when ordering CA 19-9 and consider the reasons for measuring the tumor marker.     

Marked elevation of CA19-9 in a patient with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: CA19-9 as a bad prognostic factor

Abstract A 53-year-old Japanese female, who had been suffering from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) for 3 years, was admitted with dyspnoea. The important laboratory finding on admission was a serum CA19-9 level of 649 U/mL. Despite steroid treatment for IPF, her respiratory condition gradually deteriorated with the increase of serum CA19-9 level up to 3020 U/mL and she died of respiratory failure. Immunohistochemistry showed the positive stain of CA19-9 in bronchoepithelial cells. We also reviewed the Index Medics and picked up the cases who had elevation of CA19-9 more than 1000 U/mL, and six patients were listed. Five of these six patients died within 6 months, therefore the marked elevation of CA19-9 seemed to be a bad prognostic factor in patients with pulmonary fibrosis.     

胆胰疾病CA19-9升高相关因素及其临床价值研究

目的研究影响胆胰疾病CA19-9水平的因素,评价CA19-9升高在鉴别诊断消化道良恶性疾病中的临床价值。方法回顾性分析2003—2009年北京大学人民医院201例胆胰疾病(73例胰腺癌、45例胆管癌、83例胆总管结石),分析胆总管结石患者的CA19-9水平和胆汁淤积以及胆管炎症相关指标的相关性。分析胰腺癌、胆管癌患者CA19-9水平和肿瘤分期及分化程度的相关性。绘制胰腺癌、胆管癌CA19-9的ROC曲线。结果CA19-9升高组胆总管结石患者胆汁淤积以及胆管炎症相关指标均较CA19-9正常组高(P值均0.05),患者的CA19-9水平与上述指标呈正相关(P值均0.05)。胰腺癌患者的CA19-9水平与年龄和肿瘤分期呈正相关(P值均0.05)。CA19-9诊断胰腺癌的灵敏度(临界值为37kU/L)86.30%,特异度42.16%,据ROC曲线当临界值为42kU/L时灵敏度为86.30%,特异度为53.06%。CA19-9临界值为37kU/L诊断胆管癌的灵敏度95.56%,特异度42.16%,根据ROC曲线当临界值为63.14kU/L时,灵敏度95.56%,特异度60.24%。结论胆总管结石患者的CA19-9非特异性升高水平与胆汁淤积以及胆管炎症相关指标呈正相关。胰腺癌患者的CA19-9水平和肿瘤分期呈正相关。以CA19-9临界值为37kU/L诊断胰腺癌和胆管癌灵敏度较高,但是鉴别良恶性疾病的特异性不理想,提高临界值可以提高特异度。     

Lymphoepithelial cyst of the pancreas associated with elevated CA 19-9 levels

An extremely rare case of a lymphoepithelial cyst associated with persistent elevation of serum carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 levels is described. A 72-year-old man was incidentally found to have a cystic tumor in the uncus of the pancreas and to have a high serum CA 19-9 level. At 2-year follow up, the tumor size had gradually increased and the high CA 19-9 level persisted. Because the malignant potential of the tumor could not be ruled out, a laparotomy was performed. The tumor was excised from the pancreas. On pathological examination, the tumor was proven to be a lymphoepithelial cyst. After the operation, the patient’s serum CA 19-9 level decreased to the normal range. Lymphoepithelial cysts of the pancreas are a rare, benign entity. They are true pancreatic cysts, characterized by a mature, keratinizing, squamous lining surrounded by lymphoid tissue. Because the treatment options and the prognosis of these entities are quite different from those of other cystic neoplasms of the pancreas, preoperative differential diagnosis is the main issue. Thus, although they are rare, lymphoepithelial cysts should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cystic tumors of the pancreas.     

Type 2 diabetes mellitus and CA 19-9 levels

AIM： To prospectively investigate serum CA 19-9 levels in type 2 diabetic patients in comparison with age and gender-matched control subjects.
METHODS： We recorded duration of diabetes and examined fasting glucose levels, HbAlc levels and serum CA 19-9 levels in 76 type 2 diabetic patients and 76 controls. Abdominal CT was performed in order to eliminate abdominal malignancy in the diabetic and control groups.
RESULTS： The average CA 19-9 level was 46.0 ± 22.4 U/mL for diabetic patients whereas it was 9.97± 7.1 U/mL for the control group （P 〈 0.001 ）. Regression analysis showed a positive correlation between diabetes and CA 19-9 independent from age, gender, glucose level and HbAlc level （t = 8.8, P 〈 001 ）. Two of the diabetic patients were excluded from the study because of abdominal malignancy shown by CT at the initial evaluation. For all patients, abdominal CT showed no pancreatic abnormalities.
CONCLUSION： CA 19-9 is a tumor-associated antigen, which is elevated in pancreatic, upper gastrointestinal tract, ovarian hepatocellular, and colorectal cancers, as well as in inflammatory conditions of the hepatobiliary system, biliary obstruction and in thyroid diseases. Diabetes has been claimed to be a risk factor for pancreatic cancer, which is increasing its incidence and has one of the lowest survival rates of all cancers. CA 19-9 is used in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer but is also a marker of pancreatic tissue damage that might be caused by diabetes. We propose that a higher cutoff value of CA 19-9 should be used in diabetics to differentiate benign and malignant pancreatic disease, and subtle elevations of CA 19-9 in diabetics should be considered as the indication of exocrine pancreatic dysfunction.     

Type 2 diabetes mellitus and CA 19-9 levels

AIM: To prospectively investigate serum CA 19-9 levels in type 2 diabetic patients in comparison with age- and gender-matched control subjects. METHODS: We recorded duration of diabetes and examined fasting glucose levels, HbA1c levels and serum CA 19-9 levels in 76 type 2 diabetic patients and 76 controls. Abdominal CT was performed in order to eliminate abdominal malignancy in the diabetic and control groups. RESULTS: The average CA 19-9 level was 46.0 ± 22.4 U/mL for diabetic patients whereas it was 9.97 ± 7.1 U/mL for the control group (P ＜ 0.001 ). Regression analysis showed a positive correlation between diabetes and CA 19-9 independent from age, gender, glucose level and HbA1c level (t = 8.8, P ＜ 001 ). Two of the diabetic patients were excluded from the study because of abdominal malignancy shown by CT at the initial evaluation. For all patients, abdominal CT showed no pancreatic abnormalities.

Elevated serum levels of tumor marker CA19-9 in acute cholangitis

The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between the tumor marker, CA19-9, and benign biliary tract disease. We measured serum and bile CA19-9 in 40 patients with (1) symptomatic cholelithiasis (N=14), (2) common bile duct obstruction without cholangitis (N=8), (3) acute cholangitis secondary to gallstone disease (N=7), and (4) acute cholecystitis (N=11). All seven patients with acute cholangitis had marked elevations of serum CA19-9 (range 190-32,000 units/ml; 75 units/ml cutoff), whereas none of the patients in the other groups had elevated levels despite similar degrees of cholestasis and similarly high levels of CA19-9 in gallbladder and common duct bile (range 7.3×10⁴–2.3×10⁹ units/ml). Of the three patients with cholangitis in whom CA19-9 levels were followed serially, all had rapid return of levels to normal after successful treatment. We conclude that the tumor marker CA19-9 is markedly elevated in the serum of patients with acute cholangitis but not in patients with other forms of benign biliary tract disease.     

Evaluation of CA19-9 serum levels for monitoring disease activity during chemotherapy of pancreatic adenocarcinoma

Summary Between 1987 and 1990 21 patients with proven adenocarcinoma of the pancreas were treated with chemotherapy in four different phase II studies. For 14 patients, serial measurements of CA19-9 serum levels and clinical evaluations of response by computed tomography scan and/or ultrasound were available. Clinical stable disease and progressive disease were accompanied by stable or exponentially rising serum levels of CA19-9. One patient with clinical partial remission showed a 90% decline of CA19-9. However, a 75% decline of CA19-9 was also observed in a patient with rapidly progressive disease. These data seem to indicate that the CA19-9 serum level may be used as an easy and sensitive tool to evaluate progressive disease during chemotherapy.     

Multicystic biliary hamartoma with extremely elevated CA19-9: a case report

Multicystic biliary hamartoma (MCBH) is a rare cystic disease of the liver. We herein report a case of MCBH associated with extremely elevated levels of serum carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9. A 53-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of extremely elevated CA19-9 levels (more than 12,000?U/mL). Enhanced abdominal computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a multicystic tumor with a calcified wall in the left lobe of the liver, although no apparent intracystic nodule was detected. Because of the possibility of a malignant tumor, such as intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct or cystadenocarcinoma, the patient underwent left hepatectomy. Based on the postoperative pathological findings, the lesion was diagnosed as MCBH. The serum CA19-9 level drastically decreased after surgery. We encountered a rare case of MCBH with extremely elevated CA19-9 levels.

CA19-9 antigen levels can distinguish between benign and malignant pancreaticobiliary disease

BACKGROUND:CA19-9 is a carbohydrate tumor-associated antigen which is frequently upregulated in pancreatobiliary neoplasia.However,it may also be elevated in patients with jaundice in the absence of a tumor due to biliary obstruction,and in other non-hepato-pancreatico-biliary conditions.This study aimed to evaluate whether CA19-9 levels could accurately differentiate between benign and malignant pancreatobiliary disease.METHODS:All patients referred to a single surgeon for investigation of pancreaticobilia...     

Extremely Elevated CA19-9 in Acute Cholangitis

A 68-year-old women was admitted with the chief complaints of epigastralgia with radiation to the back and jaundice. Fever and chills were also noted. The laboratory data showed alkaline phosphatase, 245 U/L (normal range: 28–94); Direct Bilirubin, 5.29 mg% (0–0.4); Total Bilirubin, 8.4 mg% (0.2–1.4). Surprisingly, the serum CA19-9 was 5673.8 U/ml (normal value: <37). Abdominal sonography showed dilated common hepatic duct. MRCP demonstrated diffuse biliary tree dilatation with a very low signal intensity in distal common bile duct. Surgical intervention reveled a black stone at distal common bile duct and was successfully retrieved. After operation, the CA19-9 fell to 63.1 u/ml two weeks later and returned to normal (10.4 U/ml) one month later.
