Enterochromaffinomas are rare tumors that develop from cells that produce serotonin and histamine. These cells are located in the lining of the intestines and stomach.
Enterochromaffinomas can cause a variety of symptoms, including abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, weight loss, nausea, and vomiting. They can also lead to bleeding from the intestines or stomach.
Treatment with enterochromaffin involves surgical removal of the tumor and subsequent therapy to control symptoms. In some cases, chemotherapy or radiation therapy may be required.
However, enterochromaffinomas are rare tumors and their treatment can be challenging. Therefore, it is important to see a doctor if you experience symptoms associated with these tumors.
