Which is the correlation between carcinoid tumor and Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy? A case series and literature review

Abstract: IntroductionGastric Carcinoid Tumors (GCT) are very rare in general population, but some studies evidenced a higher incidence among bariatric surgery patients. Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) is a widely accepted procedure for the surgical treatment of morbid obesity. LSG acts both in reducing food intake and interfering with hormonal balance in the gut-brain axis. In these patients, incidental GCT diagnosis can occur both during pre-bariatric surgery investigation and during post-operative follow-up.Met… Show more

“…Finally, 17 patients reported cancer arising in the esophagus or the stomach after SG were found in 15 articles. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] There were 4 esophageal cancers,4 gastroesophageal cancers and 9 gastric cancers. The characteristics of patients are summarized in Tables 1 and 2.…”

“…12 Morbid obesity and gastric sleeve surgery are reportedly associated with incidental gastric neuro endocrine tumors during laparoscopic evaluation. 13 The pathophysiology of gastric neuro endocrine tumors after bariatric surgery has not been fully elucidated. However, it was hypothesized that hormonal changes induced by morbid obesity or after gastric sleeve surgery causes alterations in the gastrin level leading to physiological changes in gut-brain axis.…”

“…Bariatric surgery has become the preferred treatment and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is one of the most effective surgical procedures to get it under control [3]. Histopathological samples taken after surgery are usually normal; however, in rare cases, pathological findings will lead us to change our entire treatment plan [1,4]. LSG is the only surgical procedure that provides samples for histopathological examination [2,3].…”
