Abstract
- Carcinoid tumor in the stomach is neuroendocrine tumor originated from enterochromaffin cells in submucosa in the stomach. It is very rare, account for 0.3% of gastric tumor. It is likely to be demonstrated with other tumor in the stomach simultaneously, such as adenocarcinoma. According to paper published in Korea, it is only 4 cases that gastric carcinoid combined with other gastric tumors have been reported. But there has been no reports of gastric carcinoid combined with gastric adenoma, such as our cases.
