1Department of General Surgery, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Beijing 100730.
Objective:
To investigate the method for surgical diagnosis and treatment of gastric carcinoid tumors.
Methods:
Clinicopathologic features of 9 patients with gastric carcinoid tumors were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were confirmed by biopsy at endoscopy or surgery.
Results:
Eight of the 9 patients underwent elective operation, 6 showed gastric carcinoid tumors before operation found by biopsy at endoscopy. Five tumors were malignant and 4 benign. Two patients showed malignant carcinoid syndrome, but 5-HT and 5-HIAA were normal.
Conclusions:
Benign or malignant gastric carcinoid tumor depends upon tumor size, local lymph node invasion and distant metastases. The prognostic factor is based on benign or malignant tumors. Operation may be the first choice for such patients.
