Gastric carcinoid: two unusual presentations.
We report two cases of gastric carcinoid that presented as benign-appearing polyps. One presented with multiple, benign-appearing polyps--a particularly unusual presentation for an uncommon tumor. The second patient had a single polypoid gastric carcinoid and atropic gastritis with pernicious anemia. These atypical presentations and uncommon association of gastric carcinoid are discussed.
