title: Endocrine tumours of the stomach.
abstract: This review illustrates the current classification of gastric endocrine tumors: a) carcinoid tumors (associated with chromic atrophic gastritis; with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and multiple endocrine neoplasia type I; sporadic) and b) neuroendocrine carcinomas. The pathogenetic characteristics and clinical implications that justify this classification are discussed.
