Concurrently, a submucosal mass measuring about 2.0 cm was noted in the gastric antrum (Figure 1).

Using jumbo biopsy "unroofing" technique, we were able to get extensive biopsies of this mass, and results revealed a well differentiated neuroendocrine tumor (NET) consistent with a gastric carcinoid (Figures 2 and 3).

Biopsy results confirmed a well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor (NET) consistent with type III gastric carcinoid, restricted to submucosa, without involvement of the muscularis propria (Figure 4).

Computer tomography of the abdomen showed multiple, small, ill-defined, and low attenuating lesions in the left lobe of liver and a 1.7 cm mass in small bowel mesentery (Figure 6).
Numerous hepatic lesions seen, with the largest lesion at the dome of the lateral segment of left lobe of liver measuring 2.1 x 1.4 cm; multiple enlarged lymph nodes in small bowel mesentery and porta hepatis also seen.
