What does it mean when there is a small grade 2 neuroendocrine tumor in the stomach with autoimmune atrophic gastritis and pernicious anemia but the gastrin levels are normal instead of raised? thank you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That type (not grade) 2 neuroendocrine tumor is not a gastrinoma. We will call it a gastrinoma if gastrin level is very high.
