A 70-year-old man was diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The patient had suspected upper gastrointestinal bleeding during the course of the COVID-19 infection. Urgent esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) was performed. However, because of mobility restrictions imposed as a COVID-19 countermeasure, EGD was done in a small hospital room. Hemostatic treatment was successful, but no sufficient close examination could be done. The patient, who was diagnosed as having alpha-fetoprotein-producing gastric cancer, died about three months later.
一名70岁男性被诊断为2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）。该患者在COVID-19感染过程中疑似上消化道出血。遂进行了紧急食管胃十二指肠镜检查（EGD）。然而，由于作为COVID-19防控措施实施的行动限制，EGD是在一间小医院病房内进行的。止血治疗成功，但未能进行充分的仔细检查。该患者被诊断为产生甲胎蛋白的胃癌，约三个月后死亡。
