Persistent <scp>AST</scp> Elevation in a Patient With Ovarian Cancer: A Rare Diagnostic Challenge

This case highlights the rare and novel occurrence of macro-AST in a patient with ovarian cancer. It emphasizes the importance of considering macro-AST in the differential diagnosis of isolated AST elevation, particularly in patients without clear evidence of liver or muscular disease. Recognizing this benign condition can prevent unnecessary diagnostic procedures and anxiety.

Abstract

This case highlights the rare and novel occurrence of macro-AST in a patient with ovarian cancer. It emphasizes the importance of considering macro-AST in the differential diagnosis of isolated AST elevation, particularly in patients without clear evidence of liver or muscular disease. Recognizing this benign condition can prevent unnecessary diagnostic procedures and anxiety.
