Elevated CEA Misdiagnosed as Lung Cancer Ultimately Confirmed Pulmonary Cryptococcosis
CONCLUSIONS: Elevated CEA is not typical of lung cancer. We should also consider the possibility of specific pathogenic infection. Bronchoscopic lung biopsy is the gold standard should be performed as soon as possible to identify the lesion.PMID:37948490 | DOI:10.7754/Clin.Lab.2023.230519 (Source: Clinical Lung Cancer)
