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
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN-1) is a rare autosomal-dominant disease characterized by tumors in endocrine and/or non endocrine organs due to mutations in MEN1 encoding a nuclear scaffold protein'menin' involved in regulation of different cellular activities. We report a novel 14 bp MEN1
Gastrinoma is rare in children. We report the case of a 9-year-old boy with weight loss and vomiting. Upper gastrointestinal imaging showed severe stenosis of the duodenum. Although gastrin was very high, imaging did not show a gastrinoma. Selective arterial secretagogue injection (SASI) test
METHODS
A 6.2 kg, 8-year-old, spayed female Australian Terrier was presented with weight loss, inappetence, lethargy and a 2-day history of intermittent vomiting.
RESULTS
The dog had cranial abdominal pain and there was melaena present on digital rectal examination. Haematology revealed a marked,
The dog of this case was a 10-year-old Shih Tzu with refractory vomiting, diarrhea and anorexia. Endoscopy revealed an unclear at gastric angle, a stenosis at pyloric antrum and congestion in duodenal mucosa. Since abnormal shadows of irregular echo-levels were disclosed by pancreas ultrasonography,
Tumors of gastrin-secreting cells (gastrinomas) result in a characteristic clinical syndrome of hypergastrinemia, which leads to gastric acid hypersecretion with subsequent severe gastrointestinal ulceration. The most common clinical signs are inappetance/anorexia, lethargy, weight loss, vomiting,
A five-year-old male Shih-Tzu dog presented with severe vomiting and weight loss. The clinical signs were successfully improved by an eight-day treatment with an H(2)-receptor antagonist, gastrointestinal protectant and antibiotics. Ten days later, however, recurrence of vomiting was seen despite
Ten consecutive patients with metastatic gastrinoma that increased in size over time were studied prospectively during treatment with monthly cycles of streptozotocin (3 g/m2), 5-fluorouracil (1.2 g/m2), and adriamycin (40 mg/m2) to determine the response rate and time-courses of changes during
A 9-year-old male German Shepherd Dog was presented with the primary complaints of vomiting, profuse watery diarrhea, anorexia, and severe weight loss. The dog developed hematemesis and melena, which were unresponsive to treatment with an H2-receptor antagonist and a gastrointestinal protectant. A
In dogs gastrinomas are rare endocrine neoplasms that have always been reported to arise from the pancreas. We report here what we believe to be the first case of a duodenal gastrinoma in a dog. A nine-year-old, male, Pekinese dog was presented with a three-day history of anorexia, vomiting and
A 42-year-old man, after remission of MALT lymphoma of the small intestine, was repeatedly hospitalized because of abdominal pain and severe dehydration caused by frequent vomiting and watery diarrhea. His symptoms would improve quickly every time when he was fasted and inserted a nasogastric tube.
We saw a 54-year-old patient who had been treated for gastrointestinal ulcerations with bleeding complications now presenting with nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. The patient has been suffering from recurrent diarrhea for years. The suspicion of a neuroendocrine tumor had been made but could not be
Gastrinomas are neuroendocrine tumors characterized by gastrin overexpression - 80% are sporadic and 20% are associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1. A 75-year-old male patient, surgically treated at the age of 50 years for gastrinoma, followed on an outpatient basis because of chronic
Gastrinoma when associated with liver metastasis results in markedly reduced survival. However, a standard chemotherapeutic protocol for patients with unresectable tumors has not been established. We treated two patients with gastrinoma with multiple liver metastases with intravenous administration
A patient who was given metoclopramide for vomiting and diarrhoea developed circulatory collapse with his blood pressure dropping to 50/20 mm Hg. A gastrinoma was diagnosed histologically. The extent of the tumour was defined by octreotide scanning and magnetic resonance imaging. Metoclopramide was
