AI-generated summary
Immunocytochemistry revealed that 0.5% of gynecologic tissue samples simultaneously expressed human chorionic gonadotropin and carcinoembryonic antigen, with ovarian and endometrial neoplasms showing the most varied marker expression.

Abstract
Tissue from 180 gynecologic disorders were studied for the simultaneous expression of HCG and CEA, utilizing the immunoperoxidase technique. Of the total population, 0.5% expressed both antigens, 8.8% expressed only hCG, and 5.5% expressed only CEA; 85% expressed neither. The greatest variability of marker expression was among the ovarian and endometrial neoplasms.
