A rare case of gastric carcinoid presenting as subacute combined degeneration of spinal cord
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research and Review - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Gastric carcinoids originate from the foregut and are derived from enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells, which are the main neuroendocrine cells in the gastric mucosa. Gastrin acts directly on ECL cells to induce hyperplasia, dysplasia, and, eventually, neoplasia or carcinoid . In patients with chronic atrophic gastritis, decreased gastric acid secretion stimulates the secretion of gastrin, and ECL cells transform into a carcinoid. Herein we report a case of type I gastric carcinoid presenting as SACD.
