| Abstract: | Reported here is a 38-year-old woman who had a gastric cancer accompanied with liver metastasis. Abnormal serum levels of a carcinoembryonic antigen, alpha-fetoprotein, and an alkaline phosphatase isozyme were observed persistently after a gastrectomy. The properties of this alkaline phosphatase isoenzyme were identical to a hepatoma alkaline phosphatase type. Histologic findings of the stomach revealed a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. The patient died on the 180th postoperative day. |
