We describe a patient with high serum CA 125 levels before and after surgery (greater than 403 U/ml) who had no apparent pathologic foci of CA 125 production. Serum levels of CA 130, which exists on the same glycoprotein as CA 125, were within normal ranges (less than 35 U/ml) before and after surgery.
