Gastric Carcinoid with Hypergastrinemia : Report of Three Cases

الملخص EN

We report 3 cases of gastric carcinoids with hypergastrinemia.

Case 1: A 60-year-old man had a 2 cm carcinoid of the stomach and underwent partial resection.

Involvement of the muscularis propria and lymph nodes metastasis were observed microscopically.

Follow-up gastroscopy revealed another carcinoid lesion and total gastrectomy was performed.

Case 2: A 67-year-old woman with multiple carcinoids of the entire stomach underwent antrectomy.

No growth of residual tumors has been detected so far.

Case 3: A 61-year-old man had a tumor near the esophagogastric junction and underwent total gastrectomy.

Carcinoid component was diffusely intermingled with adenocarcinoma in the tumor and invaded into the subserosa.

In all 3 cases, the serum gastrin level was high and atrophic gastritis was microscopically observed.

Carcinoid tumor in Case 3 was different from those in Cases 1 and 2 and interestingly, gastric carcinoid with hypergastrinemia showed various types of appearance.
