Three cases of extreme elevation of serum alpha fetoprotein (>10,000 ng/mL) with decompensated cirrhosis without demonstrable hepatocellular carcinoma are reported. While 2 patients died of liver failure, 1 survived after liver transplantation. Extreme elevation of alpha fetoprotein not associated with hepatocellular carcinoma in liver cirrhosis heralds an ominous prognosis necessitating urgent liver transplantation.
