Gastric carcinoid tumour and hypergastrinaemia.
We report a case of gastric enterochromaffin-like carcinoid tumour associated with fundic chronic atrophic gastritis and hypergastrinaemia of antral origin. The clinical and pathological features of this association are reviewed. The probable causal relationship between these argyrophil carcinoids and hypergastrinaemia is also discussed.
