Sporadic gastric carcinoid tumors are relatively infrequent malignancies of the stomach. Tumors measuring less than 1 cm can sometimes be safely removed endoscopically; however, larger neoplasias require surgical ablation. The present case report represents a gastric carcinoid tumor laparoscopically resected in a patient with a history of hematemesis. The tumor was first marked endoscopically with India ink, which facilitated subsequent localization of the area to be resected. Laparoscopic resection of the mass was without complication, and the pathology study confirmed the preoperative diagnosis and negativity of the margins. In patients who present with masses that are not amended for endoscopic resection, sporadic gastric carcinoid tumors can be resected laparoscopically.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010535 Laparoscopy A procedure in which a laparoscope (LAPAROSCOPES) is inserted through a small incision near the navel to examine the abdominal and pelvic organs in the PERITONEAL CAVITY. If appropriate, biopsy or surgery can be performed during laparoscopy.

D002276 Carcinoid Tumor A usually small, slow-growing neoplasm composed of islands of rounded, oxyphilic, or spindle-shaped cells of medium size, with moderately small vesicular nuclei, and covered by intact mucosa with a yellow cut surface. The tumor can occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract (and in the lungs and other sites); approximately 90% arise in the appendix. It is now established that these tumors are of neuroendocrine origin and derive from a primitive stem cell.
