description 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.
