Abstract

Goblet cell carcinoids are distinct neoplasms with combined histologic features of carcinoid and adenocarcinoma with intermediate prognosis. They were initially thought to arise only from the appendix, however, in the recent past, a few cases have been described in extra appendiceal locations. Mixed adenoneuroendocrine tumors of the stomach are uncommon and that including Goblet cell carcinoid component is exceedingly rare. We report a case of composite tumor involving the stomach with four distinct neoplastic cell populations including Goblet cell carcinoid.
