Gastric carcinoid: two unusual presentations. 1983

J P Goldfarb, and F Gross, and R Maxfield, and M Rubin, and R Janis

We report two cases of gastric carcinoid that presented as benign-appearing polyps. One presented with multiple, benign-appearing polyps--a particularly unusual presentation for an uncommon tumor. The second patient had a single polypoid gastric carcinoid and atropic gastritis with pernicious anemia. These atypical presentations and uncommon association of gastric carcinoid are discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011127 Polyps Discrete abnormal tissue masses that protrude into the lumen of the DIGESTIVE TRACT or the RESPIRATORY TRACT. Polyps can be spheroidal, hemispheroidal, or irregular mound-shaped structures attached to the MUCOUS MEMBRANE of the lumen wall either by a stalk, pedunculus, or by a broad base. Polyp
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.
