Abstract
BACKGROUND: De novo gastric cancer is a rare complication of liver transplantation.
METHODS: Surgical treatments of 16 cases with different outcomes were reported in the English literature.
RESULTS: De novo gastric cancer (stage II) was diagnosed as the result of epi-gastric discomfort in a recipient 10 years after liver transplantation. The patient received chemotherapy alone and remained well for 26 months.
CONCLUSIONS: De novo gastric cancer of liver transplantation recipients is a severe complication; early detection and relevant intervention will benefit these recipients.
