Adult hepatic cavernous haemangioma with highly elevated alpha-fetoprotein.
A 35-year-old Chinese man presented with dull pain in the right hypochondrial region for the previous 2 months. Laboratory examination revealed that his serum alpha-fetoprotein level was 1890 microg/L (reference range, 0-20 microg/L), and computed tomographic scan showed a hypodense lesion in the left liver lobe. At laparotomy, a dark reddish soft tumour (3.0 x 3.5 cm in diameter) was found in ...
متن کاملNonpalpable testicular pure seminoma with elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein presenting with retroperitoneal metastasis: a case report
BACKGROUND Patients with a primary pure seminoma in the testis who have elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein are rare and should be treated as patients with nonseminomatous germ cell tumors. However, nonpalpable testicular tumors in this condition have never been reported. We describe a case of nonpalpable pure testicular seminoma with elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein presenting retroperitoneal met...
متن کاملMONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES TO HUMAN ALPHA-FETOPROTEIN
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), a serum glycoprotein belonging to the onco-developmental proteins group, serves as a marker both in cancer research and in studies concerning fetal development and fetal pathophysiology. Monoclonal anti-AFP antibodies are essential reagents in developing appropriate techniques for measurement of this protein. In this study, in order to produce anti-AFP monoclonal a...
متن کاملAlpha-fetoprotein-positive carcinoma of the pancreas: a case report.
We report on the case of a 19-year-old male with an alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-producing acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas. Tumour markers other than AFP were normal. Because of inoperability, a combined radiochemotherapy was initiated with a hyperfractionated dose of 44.8 Gy. Initially, the tumour showed a good response to irradiation and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) application, and therapy showed ...
متن کاملAlpha-fetoprotein-producing primary lung carcinoma: A case report

The patient was a 69-year-old man who consulted an internist with the chief complaint of epigastric pain. Chest X-ray and CT revealed a lobulated mass measuring 70 mm in diameter in the right lower lung...
