Two cases of urothelial tumor with high serum level of carcinoembryonic antigen and TA-4.
Two rare cases of urothelial tumor with high serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and TA-4 levels are presented. One is a case of lymph node metastasis due to bladder tumor: pathological diagnosis revealed mucoepidermoid carcinoma. The other is a case of left renal pelvic tumor: pathological diagnosis revealed transitional cell carcinoma with glandular and squamous differentiation. The serum CEA and TA-4 levels, high before surgery, decreased after surgery.
