Abstract:
We report two cases of fundic endocrine tumors associated with fundic atrophic gastritis-related hypergastrinemia and treated by antrectomy. About twenty infracentimetric tumors were observed in each patient and restrictively involved fundic mucosa. Antrectomy induced normalization of gastrinemia and the disappearance of fundic tumors, as soon as the 4(th) and 7(th) month. No recurrence was observed during the 5-year and 18-month follow-up time, respectively. We therefore consider that antrectomy may be regarded as a useful alternative treatment in the management of atrophic gastritis-related fundic endocrine tumors.

Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.
