A Rare Cause of Antigen Cancer Elevation 125 (CA 125): A Case of Uterine Adenomyosis

Until the recent past, the delays entered the first sign and the diagnosis of adenomyosis was several years. In the absence of a specific sign, its frequency is hardly appreciable because of the great heterogeneity of the studied populations (all on parts of hysterectomy). All research is converging towards reducing the time of diagnosis of adenomyosis and endometriosis. The dosage of CA 125 could be promising. The physiopathology of its synthesis and its secretion shows us that it can be elevated during endometriosis in general, sometimes in the absence of clinical signs. We believe that even in the absence of functional signs, its dosage should be systematic in the presence of uterine pathology even in the absence of endometriosis. We report here a case of isolated adenomyosis (in the absence of any uterine fibroid) associated with an elevation of Ca 125 and whose kinetics of values were influenced by hormonal treatment.
