A Case of Gastric Carcinoid Tumor Simulating Early Gastric Cancer
Abstract
- The endoscopic diagnosis of gastric carcinoid has been considered difficult. Reported cases of this tumor diagnosed by endoscopic examination are rare. And the gastric carcinoid with massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding is a rare disease entity. We experienced a case of gastric carcinoid admitted to the hospital because of hematemesis, melena and syncope. And it was diagnosed by endoscopic biopsy, although it resembled type IIa+IIc early gastric cancer at endoscopic examination. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of gastric carcinoid tumor mimicking early gastric cancer. So we report this case with a review of relevant literatures.
