Abstract:
Background and Purpose:The objective of this study was to assess the value of tumor markers and clinical characteristics in making a differential diagnosis between mature cystic teratoma(MCT) and its malignant transformation(MT).Methods:176 patients with mature cystic teratoma of the ovary diagnosed by postoperative pathology were treated in our hospital between 1997 and December 2004,the authors studied their clinicopathologic data and tested several serum tumor markers.Results:170 were MCT,the mean age was 35.8,the mean tumor size was 8.8cm,153 were tested for CA125,the mean serum CA125 level was 33u/ml,37 with serum CA125 level over 35u/ml;140 for tested CA19-9,the mean serum CA19-9 level was 217u/ml,77 with serum CA19-9 level over 37u/ml;112 tested for SCC,the mean serum SCC level was 1.82ng/ml,29 with serum SCC level over 1.5ng/ml;115 tested for CEA,the mean serum CEA level was 1.42ng/ml,8 with serum CEA level over 5ng/ml;6 cases were malignant transformation,the mean age was 47,the mean tumor size was 17.6cm,the mean serum CA125 level was 500u/ml,5 with serum CA125 level over 35u/ml,the mean serum CA19-9 level was 609.8u/ml,5 with serum CA19-9 level over 37u/ml,the mean serum SCC level was 23.4ng/ml,5 with serum SCC level over 1.5ng/ml,the mean serum CEA level was 22.8ng/ml,4 with serum CEA level over 5ng/ml.There were significant differences in age,tumor size and levels of the serum tumor markers between MCT and MT.(P
