Extremely elevated serum CA125 due to endometriosis.
Endometriosis can mimic cancer in a pre-menopausal woman (1). In this case an ultrasound showed a complex ovarian cyst with a low resistance blood flow and the serum CA 125 level was 6,114 iu/mL (normal <35), more than twice the highest level previously reported due to benign disease.
