Abstract

Carcinoïdeses gastric tumors represent 0.3% of the gastric tumors. We bring back 3 observations of carcinoïdeses gastric tumors whose surgical treatment was not possible that at a patient aged of 30 years. The evolution was favorable with 3 years of receding. The treatment of carcinoïdeses gastric tumors remains essentially surgical but the sporadic shapes that are most aggressive require a more vigorous therapeutic attitude.
