BACKGROUND Liver transplantation(LT)is the most effective treatment strategy for advanced liver diseases.With the increasing survival rate and prolonged survival time,the postoperative long-term complications of LT recipients are becoming an important concern.Among them,the newly developed cancer after LT is the second complication and cause of LT-related death after cardiovascular disease.At present,few papers have reported multiple primary carcinomas(MPCs)after LT.Herein,we retrospectively analyzed an MPC case with gastric cancer and lung cancer after LT.CASE SUMMARY Herein,we retrospectively analyzed an MPC case with de novo gastric cancer and lung cancer after LT with no obvious complaints.Forty-one months after LT,the patient underwent radical distal gastrectomy(Billroth II)for intramucosal signet ring cell carcinoma,and then thoracoscopic wedge resection of the right lower lobe of the right lung and localized lymph node dissection 2 mo later.Therefore,paying attention to follow-up in LT recipients with early detection and intervention of de novo MPCs is the key to improving the survival rate and quality of life of LT recipients.CONCLUSION De novo MPCs after LT are rare,and the prognosis is poorer.However,early detection and related intervention can significantly improve the prognosis of patients.Therefore,we recommend that liver transplant recipients should be followed and screened for newly developed malignant tumors to improve the survival rate and quality of life.
