Atrophic gastritis and tumour. Endoscopic view of a carcinoid tumour and atrophic cells in the lining (mucosa) of a patient's stomach. A carcinoid tumour is a slow-growing neuroendocrine tumour that can sometimes be cancerous. Atrophy is the shrinkage or wasting away of cells as a result of disease. Atrophic gastritis may develop following chronic gastritis, which is associated with smoking and long term alcohol abuse, or spontaneously as an autoimmune disease. | |
