  • Title: The role of gastric resection in the management of multicentric argyrophil gastric carcinoids.
    Author: Wängberg B, Grimelius L, Granérus G, Conradi N, Jansson S, Ahlman H.
    Journal: Surgery; 1990 Nov; 108(5):851-7. PubMed ID: 2237765.
    Abstract:
    A patient with pernicious anemia, atrophic non-antral gastritis, hypergastrinemia, and widespread hyperplasia of enterochromaffin-like cells and manifest enterochromaffin-like cell carcinoma was followed up during 39 months, including 15 months after gastric resection. In this case normalization of gastrin levels did not prevent the development of multiple gastric carcinoids in the fundic mucosa, suggesting that factors other than gastrin are of importance in the pathogenesis.
