Özet

Gastric carcinoid tumors (GCT) are rare lesions that constitute 2.6-8.7% of all gastrointestinal carcinoids, mostly affect middle-aged females but the incidence in children is unknown. We present a 14-year-old girl, with GCT. She was treated with recombinant human growth hormone (GH) for complete GH deficiency, and endoscopy was performed to identify iron-deficiency anemia. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a gastric polyp, and biopsies were compatible with GCT.
