title: [A case of gastric carcinoid with type A gastritis].
abstract: A 40-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for treatment of gastric carcinoid of 7-mm in diameter associated with type A gastritis. Endoscopic mucosal resection was performed and histological examination revealed a gastric carcinoid with submucosal invasion (2500microm). Three months after the resection, the other carcinoid of 3-mm lesion was found, but no recurrence of resected portion. Neither local recurrence nor distant metastasis has been observed during 1-year follow-up period. These findings revealed that gastric carcinoid with type A gastritis, when smaller than 1-cm in diameter, could be cured with endoscopic procedure.
