Pseudo Meigs' syndrome with benign stromal hyperplasia and elevated CA-125.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Factors implicated in basal ganglia dysfunction are; ischemia, toxins and allergy.[1,4] The ischemic-hypoxic pattern seems unlikely in our case, as there was no evidence of hemodynamic failure and Ammons horn, purkinje fibers and dentate gyrus (susceptible to ischemia) were intact on imaging. Bee sting envenomation occurs with multiple stings, usually more than 10. Single honeybee sting in the present case was against venom mediated toxicity. Hypersensitivity reaction following hymenoptera sting have been described,[1] and in our case may be explained by the presence of swelling and neuronal central findings, which could have been a consequence of a probable central angioedema or allergic encephalomyelitis.[5] Parkinsonism in our case represents an unusual hypersensitivity reaction to honeybee sting.

Coexistence of benign struma ovarii, pseudo-Meigs’ syndrome and elevated serum CA 125: Case report and review of the literature
Struma ovarii is an uncommon ovarian teratoma comprised predominantly of mature thyroid tissue. The combination of pseudo-Meigs' syndrome, and elevation of CA 125 to the struma ovarii is a rare condition that can mimic ovarian malignancy. We reported a case of benign struma ovarii, presenting with the clinical features of advanced ovarian carcinoma: complex pelvic mass, gross ascites, bilateral...
متن کاملMeigs' syndrome with elevated serum cancer antigen 125 levels in a case of ovarian sclerosing stromal tumor.
OBJECTIVE Meigs' syndrome presenting as an ovarian tumor with elevated serum cancer antigen 125 (CA 125) levels is unusual. Only 37 cases have been reported, including three cases of ovarian sclerosing stromal tumor (SCT). Many reports have suggested that the presence of ascites is the major factor inducing mesothelial expression of CA 125. CASE REPORT An 18-year-old woman presented with mass...

BACKGROUND Struma ovarii, presenting as pseudo-Meigs' syndrome with an elevated CA 125 level, is a rare condition. CASE A 65-year-old patient presented with ascites, hydrothorax, right ovarian mass, and elevated CA 125 level. These findings were suspicious for an ovarian malignancy. The mass was removed and revealed struma ovarii, a specialized ovarian teratoma composed predominantly of matur...

Background. The risk of ovarian cancer is increased in the association of ovarian tumor, ascites, and hydrothorax with the significant elevated tumor marker CA-125. However, this association can be observed in a rare clinical and benign pathological entity, that is Demons-Meigs' syndrome. Objective. To describe a rare case of Demons-Meigs' syndrome observed in our department. Methods. A black A...

cologic origin is sometimes similar to that of disseminated malignant neoplasms (1). This is usually the case in patients with Meigs or pseudo-Meigs syndrome. Meigs syndrome was defined in 1954 as a fibroma or fibromalike tumor associated with hydrothorax and ascites, which resolved on removal of the tumor. Pseudo-Meigs syndrome has an identical clinical constellation but the tumor types which ...
