Abstract
Elevated CA-125 levels in patients with endometrioma can create a diagnostic dilemma. We report the sonographic and magnetic resonance imaging findings in a case of ovarian endometrioma with a serum CA-125 level of 2229 IU/ml, and discuss the utility of imaging features in the assessment of potential malignancy.
