Core Tip

Core Tip: Gastric neuroendocrine tumor (G-NEN) is a group of rare tumors originating from neuroendocrine cells in the stomach. Especially in type 1 G-NEN, some cases have no visible lesions under endoscopy, and these lesions can only be detected via biopsies (microcarcinoids). Therefore, it is particularly important to correctly identify and diagnose diseases. This article reports a case of a 67-year-old female patient with gastric microneuroendocrine tumors, and reviews relevant literature to better identify and diagnose gastric microneuroendocrine tumors.
