A 51-year-old woman complaining of weakness in the limbs was diagnosed as having a duodenal gastrinoma on performing a further evaluation. Surgical resection was performed with selective arterial calcium injection for localization. During preoperative hospitalization, she experienced recurrent
Gastrinoma is a hormone-secreting tumor associated with the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It is quite rare among children, and it is also uncommon in locations other than the pancreas and the duodenum in the pediatric group. Here, we describe an adolescent male, presenting with recurrent secretory
METHODS
A 14-year-old boy was admitted to hospital because of chronic episodic diarrhea lasting for 4 years. Previous investigations in the past had not revealed the cause of the symptoms.
METHODS
The 13C-triglyceride breathing test showed a diminished intestinal lipolysis. Endoscopic examination
We present a case of Zollinger Ellison Syndrome (ZES), that manifested itself as chronic diarrhea, without the presence of peptic ulcer disease. The purpose of this work in to report a case of ZES with and unusual clinical manifestation and to review the diagnostic methods (gastrin, secretin
METHODS
A 26-year-old man was admitted to hospital with a 6-month history of diarrhea and abdominal pain. Before admission, upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy had shown a mild erosive duodenitis and the patient was started on a proton pump inhibitor. Physical examination and laboratory tests
The Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is characterized pathophysiologically by a significant hypergastrinemia derived from a gastrin-secreting neuroendocrine tumor with a primary location in the pancreas or duodenum. Chronic hypergastrinemia in turn triggers gastric acid hypersecretion yielding in chronic
Despite the increasing awareness of gastrinoma and its lethal peptic ulcer sequelae, the diagnosis is often initially missed or made as a terminal event. The authors screened all patients with peptic ulcer symptoms serious enough to warrant hospital admission or those associated with diarrhea,
A solitary hepatic tumor in a 50-year-old woman, which was observed as a hemangioma, ultimately was resected because it increased in size. The tumor volume doubling time was 28.8 months over the observed period of 30 months. The histologic diagnosis was carcinoid tumor. Immunohistochemical staining
Gastrinoma is a gastrin-secreting tumor that is associated with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. The majority of cases occur in the pancreas, followed by the duodenum. Early diagnosis is difficult due to the relative rarity of the tumor and the lack of specific symptoms. In the current study, a
BACKGROUND
Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors have occasionally been described in association with neurofibromatosis type 1, whereas an association with neurofibromatosis type 2 has never been reported.
METHODS
This report refers to an Italian 69 year old woman with neurofibromatosis type
BACKGROUND
The insulinoma syndrome is marked by fasting hypoglycemia and inappropriate elevations of insulin. The gastrinoma syndrome is characterized by hypergastrinemia, ulcer disease, and/or diarrhea. Rarely, insulinoma and gastrinoma coexist in the same patient simultaneously.
OBJECTIVE
Our
A case of severe diarrhea and hypergastrinemia after 6 wk of lansoprazole therapy is presented. This represents the only fully evaluated report of severe diarrhea due to lansoprazole and comes to the interesting conclusion that it was a secretory diarrhea likely due to lansoprazole and not a
