Abstract
Gastric neuroendocrine carcinomas are rare and have a poor prognosis. The present case concerns with a 55 year old female who presented with complaints of recurrent vomiting on and off, hematemesis and weight loss and history of lumbar stenosis. Esophagogastroduedenostomy (EGD) showed a large ulcerated growth in the antrum. Computed tomography abdomen revealed an ill defined soft tissue density in the gastric antrum, a partial gastrectomy was performed. Microscopic evaluation revealed a neuroendocrine neoplasm. Immunohistochemically positive for Chromogranin A and Non Specific Enolase (NSE). A diagnosis of Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the stomach was given based on recent WHO classification of Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the stomach and on mitotic index with reference to grading scale.
