Abstract

The aim of this article is the synchronous presentation of two types of tumor strains: hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and gastric adenocarcinoma. This association is infrequent, yet it is important to differentiate these metastatic lesions because it will modify the treatment of the patient. HCC is
the most common primary liver neoplasm. Liver cirrhosis of any etiology is considered the main risk factor for the development of HCC. However, HCC in non-cirrhotic livers remains a rare finding. Of the gastric cancers, gastric adenocarcinoma is the most common histological type, and risk factors such as Helicobacter pylori infection contribute to its development. Below is a description
of a 71-year-old male patient with a history of underlying liver disease who was admitted due to
nausea, vomiting, weight loss, and dysphagia.
