Which of the following malignancy is not associated with elevated AFP?
Seminomas are associated with elevated beta hCG and placental alkaline phosphatase levels.

Benign conditions causing elevated AFP levels are cirrhosis, hepatic necrosis, acute hepatitis, chronic active hepatitis, ataxia telangiectasia, Wiskott Aldrich syndrome and pregnancy.
