ECL cell carcinoid: enterochromaffin-like cell carcinoid a small, circumscribed, often polypoid tumor of the gastric fundus, consisting of enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells and believed to be secondary to hypergastrinemia, which stimulates the proliferation of ECL cells; multiple tumors are usually present.
