Xanthogranulomatous appendicitis with elevated tumor marker misdiagnosed as cecal cancer: a case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Xanthogranulomatous inflammation is an uncommon chronic inflammatory disease that develops most often in the kidneys and gallbladder. However, xanthogranulomatous appendicitis 45eXA is rare. Herein, we present a case of XA, with an elevated tumor marker, misdiagnosed as cecal cancer. A 76-year-old woman was referred to our hospital. Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) levels were elevated. By computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, we diagnosed as suspected cecal cancer and performed laparoscopic-assisted ileocecal resection. The pathological diagnosis was XA. Her CA19-9 level decreased to within normal limits. XA is a condition that results from an unusual healing pattern of appendicitis. However, the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. This is the first case of XA with elevated CA 19-9 levels. In this case, XA may have had the potential for malignancy. Our case report can aid in the understanding of these rare cases and, as a result, improve their prognosis.
