  • Title: [The variable picture of gastric carcinoid].
    Author: Kuyer PP, Rosenbusch G, Yap SH, de Boer HH.
    Journal: Rofo; 1987 Feb; 146(2):184-8. PubMed ID: 3029832.
    Abstract:
    Carcinoids are endocrine tumors which develop from enterochromaffin cells and will be found in more than 80% in the gastrointestinal tract. Only 2-3% of these carcinoids is located in the stomach. The rarity of their occurrence and the wide variety of radiographic features (intramural defects, multiple gastric polyps, large gastric ulcers and polypoid intraluminal lesions) make their recognition difficult. We report 3 cases of gastric carcinoid, one of them presented with pernicious anemia, which has been reported more frequently in literature. One patient showed the unusual combination of adenocarcinoma and a carcinoid with a stalk in the stomach.
