In this case report, we present a case of false positive CA 19-9 and CA 125 levels in a patient with suspected endometriotic cysts. The patient is a 34-year-old nulliparous woman with heavy black tea consumption and elevated CA 19-9 and CA 125 levels. After discontinuation of black tea intake and careful exploration of other possible factors, CA 19-9 and CA 125 levels dropped markedly. As a conclusion, heavy black tea consumption can lead to false positive results of elevated CA 19-9 and CA 125 levels.
在本病例报告中,我们介绍了一例疑似子宫内膜异位症囊肿患者的 CA 19-9 和 CA 125 水平假阳性病例。该患者是一名 34 岁的未育女性,大量饮用红茶,且 CA 19-9 和 CA 125 水平升高。停止饮用红茶以及仔细探究其他可能的因素后,CA 19-9 和 CA 125 水平显著下降。总之,大量饮用红茶可能导致 CA 19-9 和 CA 125 水平升高的假阳性结果。
