Abstract

We report a case of a gastric carcinoid tumor in an anemic woman with chronic atrophic gastritis and hypergastrinemia. An antrectomy with excision of a carcinoid tumor was performed; afterwards, gastrinemia was normal. Gastric carcinoids were considered uncommon gastric cancers; however, in recent years they have been studied with increasing interest because, as in chronic atrophic gastritis, it has been suggested that they might be produced by prolonged hypergastrinemia associated with therapeutic use of gastric acid supressors. We discuss the gastrin hypothesis, the different clinical types of gastric carcinoids and its therapeutical management.
