Abstract
Objective: Description of a patient who developed a gastric argyrophil carcinoid tumour, against a background of marked achlorhydria-related hypergastrinaemia, and who went on to develop a parathyroid adenoma 2 years later. Design: A single patient case report and review of the l iterature. Setting: Department of Medicine and Pathology at a Universi ty Hospital. Intervention: Surgical therapy. Conclusion: Parathyroid g lands should be examined in all patients with gastric argyrophil carci noid and, conversely, gastric status should be established in patients with hyperparathyroidism.
