Summary
Not many cases have been reported of liver cirrhosis due to schistosomiasis complicated by hepatoma except for those recently reported by Iuchi and his co-workers. Furthermore, a simultaneous occurrence of hepatoma and gastric carcinoma appears to be extremely rare.
The authors report a case of a 48-year-old Japanese male with liver cirrhosis probably due to schistosomiasis as well as hepatoma and a superficial spreading type of carcinoma of the stomach.
