Abstract
We describe a patient with dysgerminoma who had elevated serum inhibin, tum or-associated trypsin inhibitor (TATI), and CA 125 concentrations, which in creased progressively during follow-up of the advancing disease. Inhibin le vels correlated closely with disease behavior. In contrast to inhibin, seru m TATI and CA 125 failed to reveal the presence of silent disease. (C) 1998 Academic Press.
