Since liver transplantation, she had been under immunosuppression with tacrolimus without any signs of graft rejection. She referred asthenia, post-prandial fullness, nausea and vomiting.

Liver allograft did not display signs of cirrhotic transformation. Therefore, she undergone upper digestive endoscopy that showed a large ulcerated polypoid lesion involving the smaller curvature along body and antrum (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>B). Biopsies of the lesion were performed and histopathological examination revealed adenocarcinoma (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>C), with strong immunohistochemical positivity for alpha-fetoprotein (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>D), consistent with alpha-fetoprotein producing gastric cancer (stage IV).
