ABSTRACT
A case of primary choriocarcinoma in the stomach of a 60-year-old male is herein presented. The tumor was diagnosed as a choriocarcinoma by histologic examination and the immunohistochemical method of endoscopic biopsy of a specimen. Serum alpha- fetoprotein and beta-human chorionic gonadotropin were found to be significantly elevated. Multiple distant metastasis of the liver, intraabdominal lymph nodes and malignant ascites were also discovered. The high alpha-fetoprotein level in the serum might have been due to the coexistence of embryonal cell carcinoma or hepatoid adenocarcinoma or both in the stomach.
