ABSTRACT
A carcinoid tumor of the stomach is a neuroendocrine tumor originating from enterochromaffin cells in the submucosa of the stomach and has no specific clinical symptoms. They are uncommon, accounting for no more than 0.3% of all gastric tumors. However, this frequency has increased markedly due to endoscopic screening. Herein, the case of a 47-year-old man with a polypoid lesion (2 cm diameter) detected on endoscopic examination is reported. It was diagnosed as a carcinoid tumor before an operation. Although the tumor size was slightly larger than 2 cm in diameter, the lesion was treated by wedge resection as there was no lymph node involvement or other distant metastasis. The postoperative has course was uneventful. The patient has continued to do well for over 15 months of follow up.
