Abstract:
The case of a cirrhotic woman being evaluated for liver transplantation who was found to have a superficial gastric carcinoma is presented. The gastric carcinoma was confirmed by endoscopy and histologically on two separate occasions. Following gastric resection, the transplant was a success and she remains well without tumor recurrence two years after the resection and one year following liver transplantation.
