Journal Title: International Journal of Biomedical and Advance Research - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
The gastrointestinal tract is the largest neuroendocrine system in the body. Carcinoid tumours are the commonest neuroendocrine tumours that arise from enterochromaffin cells throughout the gut. These tumours secrete bioactive substances producing characteristic immunohistochemical and clinical patterns. With the incidence and prevalence of carcinoid tumours rising, we present 2 cases of carcinoid tumours of the gastro intestinal tract.
