Abstract

Low gastric acid output leads to hypergastrinaemia, which results in the stimulation of dormant enterochromaffin-like cells in the gastric mucosa; these can progress to carcinoid tumours. A patient is described with this syndrome. Reduction in gastrin levels by antrectomy resulted in regression of the carcinoids.
