Hello doctor,I have left side lower abdominal pain and gas problem. I need a radiologist to interpret my MRI scan results. The laboratory tests performed was blood test in which CA 125 was elevated to 59.
Hi. Your MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) pelvis reveals (attachment removed to protect patient identity) a well defined hypo-intense lesion in the right adnexa from which right ovary is seen separately, and is likely to be an endometrioma. It shows mild homogenous enhancement on postcontrast images. However, your CA 125 levels are slightly higher for endometriosis. The usual cut off value is 30, but in extensive endometriosis, the values may rise. It is not like a malignant lesion as no fat component, or large cystic area or invasion is seen. Also, CA 125 values go above 200 in malignant lesions. If possible can you please upload other investigations that you have done. Any ultrasound of pelvis, any surgical history, AFP (alpha-fetoprotein) levels, if done. And also any past reports which can be relevant. For more information consult a radiologist online -->
