Gastric Neuroendocrine Hyperplasia, Dysplasia and Neoplasia (Carcinoid Tumors)
Clinical
- It has been proposed that type A and B hyperplasia and dysplasia may progress to carcinoid (Berna 2008, Annibale 2001)
- This is not universally accepted for hyperplastic lesions (Solicia 1995)
- It would appear that both merit followup
- The behavior of carcinoids is dependent upon size, proliferation rate and the setting in which it arises (see Diagnostic Criteria) as well as proliferation grade
