[A case of alpha-fetoprotein producing embryonal carcinoma of the stomach].

A 67-year-old man with complaints of general malaise and epigastralgia was admitted to our hospital for further examination. Upper GI series and endoscopy showed advanced cancer, Borrmann type II; biopsy specimens revealed pathological pictures of malignancy. The serum alpha-fetoprotein values were remarkably high (473,000 ng/dl); the liver scintigram revealed a space-occupying lesion in the right lobe and the abdominal CT-scan showed ascites and lymphadenopathy of the abdominal para-aortic region. Therefore, double cancer of the stomach and the liver was suspected. The patient died in a state of hepatic coma with a rapid increase of jaundice, ascites and right pleural effusion at 3 weeks after admission despite the anti-cancer treatment. Autopsy revealed embryonal carcinoma with yolk sac tumor elements of stomach origin, extensive metastasis to the liver, lung, peritoneum, and portal vein. The peroxidase anti-peroxidase technique revealed that primary and secondary tumor cells produced alpha-fetoprotein.

[Postirradiation malignant fibrous histiocytoma in a patient with squamous carcinoma of the uterine cervix--an autopsy case].

An autopsy case of postirradiation sarcoma is described. The tumor, a malignant fibrous histiocytoma, occurred in the radiation fied 7 years after postoperative external beam radiation therapy (6000 rad) for squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix. To our knowledge, 11 cases of postirradiation malignant fibrous histiocytoma have been reported in the literature and only one occurrence of this neoplasm after treatment for cervical cancer has been described. We review the literature on postirradiation sarcoma with special attention to malignant fibrous histiocytoma.
