title: Management of enterochromaffin-like gastric carcinoid tumour metastasized to the liver.
abstract: We report the rare case of a patient suffering from pernicious anaemia and a history of flushing and diarrhoea. The patient was found to have microcarcinoids with multiple gastric polyps and a solitary liver metastasis. He was successfully managed with subtotal gastrectomy, while the liver metastasis was cured by Interferon-alpha and octreotide administration.
