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- α and octreotide administration.
