Neuroendocrine tumors (carcinoids) are tumors originating from neuroendocrine cells. The distinction between different types of gastric carcinoids is important for their management. We present the case of a 38-year old woman with type 1 gastric neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) associated with autoimmune atrophic gastritis. The management of these tumors has not been yet codified and different therapeutic strategies have been suggested. A proper evaluation before therapy is indicated in order to rule out both the malignant transformation as well as the presence of synchronous lesions, such as dysplasia or gastric adenocarcinoma. We describe our diagnostic and therapeutic strategies with references to previously published reports.
神经内分泌肿瘤(类癌)起源于神经内分泌细胞。不同类型胃神经内分泌肿瘤(NETs)的鉴别对于其治疗至关重要。我们报告了 1 例 38 岁女性,患有 1 型胃神经内分泌肿瘤(NETs),并伴有自身免疫性萎缩性胃炎。这些肿瘤的治疗尚未规范,已经提出了不同的治疗策略。在治疗前应进行适当的评估,以排除恶性转化以及同时存在的病变,如发育不良或胃腺癌。我们描述了我们的诊断和治疗策略,并参考了以前发表的报告。
