One patient with gastric carcinoma and
secondary myelofibrosis
due to disseminated bone marrow metastasis had markedly elevated
lysozyme
(
LZM
) levels in serum and urine with the intense presence of
LZM
within tumor tissues. It is considered to be a case of gastric carcinoma with
LZM
secreting functional capacities. To date, there were many reported cases to verify the
LZM
positive cells by
LZM
staining in the tissue of gastric carcinoma and to demonstrate the elevated serum levels of
LZM
in malignant tumor bearing patients, whereas no papers to disclose the elevated levels of
LZM
in serum and urine originated from the productions and secretions of gastric carcinoma cells. So, this report might be the first reported case of
LZM
secreting tumor verified by
LZM
staining of carcinoma cells except for haematological malignancies such as acute monocytic leukemia or myelomonocytic leukemia.
