Incidental Finding of Elevated Serum Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein (sCOMP) in Knee Osteoarthritis Patient with Undiagnosed Colon Cancer: A Case Report.

Background: The clinical utility of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker is currently under intense study. COMP has been associated primarily with musculoskeletal disorders such as rheumatoid and osteoarthritis (OA) or muscular and ligament trauma.
