It sounds like this lady needs a visit from Bard Parker, via a vertical midline incision, and an attempted bilateral ovarian cytectomy, with frozen section if necessary. I would not find a CA-125 level at all useful in this patient, because a level of any amount (high or low) would not change my management, and because I don't believe CA-125 levels are currently useful in premenopausal patients. Please let us know what you find! Thanks, Ashley Hill D.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
