Abstract

We report two cases of appendicitis with the elevation of serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) and normal serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels. The histological diagnosis was appendicitis with granulomatous change. CA19-9 levels decreased after surgery. Serum levels of CA19-9 may be elevated in both inflammatory and malignant disease of the gastrointestinal tract. If serum levels of CEA are with normal limits, the appendiceal disease may be benign despite of the elevation of CA19-9 levels.
