Abstract: Gastric neuroendocrine tumors (GNETs) account for less than 2% of gastric neoplasms and type 1 GNETs (GNETs-1), which are associated with chronic atrophic gastritis, account for 70-80% of all GNETs. Treatment of GNETs-1 is usually endoscopic, but surgery also has its indications. The aim of this study is to present five case reports of GNETs-1 treated with surgery and to analyze the surgical indications for this type of tumors.
