Abstract
- A carcinoid tumor of the stomach is uncommon, has no clinical symptoms, and is regarded as a benign. It is also incidentally found in most cases. 48-year-old woman with gastric carcinoid tumor was admitted. She had suffered from a anorexia and a dry mouth for 4-months. A gastroscopy revealed a polypoid mass on the greater curvature of the mid-body of the stomach which was subsequently thought to be an adenocarcinoma. An endoscopic mucosectomy revealed however, that it was a carcinoid tumor. A case of carcinoid tumor of the stomach is here by presented with a brief literature review.
