Abstract :

Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia (MEN) type 1 is characterised by occurrence of tumors in anterior pituitary, pancreas and parathyroid. Though rare, some of these patients may develop carcinoid tumors anywhere in the body.

Of the 3 types of gastric carcinoids, type 2 gastric carcinoid is rare representing 5% of all gastric carcinoids and is known to be associated with MEN 1 syndrome. Type 2 gastric carcinoid has low incidence of turning aggressive but there have been cases where the tumor behaved aggressive like in our case.

We are presenting one such rare case of malignant gastric carcinoid tumor in a 34 years old female with MEN 1 syndrome, who presented with metastasis to regional lymph nodes.
