Extrapancreatic gastrinoma, a rare tumor, caused recurring peptic ulcer disease in a patient. Surgical excision of the tumor provided satisfactory results, resolving the patient's symptoms.

Area of Science:

Gastroenterology
Surgical Oncology
Endocrinology

Background:

Extrapancreatic gastrinoma is a rare cause of peptic ulcer disease.
Gastrinomas lead to excessive stomach acid production, causing ulcers.

Observation:

A patient presented with recurrent peptic ulcer disease and unusual ulcer perforation.
High serum gastrin levels and multiple ulcers in the antrum and duodenum were noted.
Imaging revealed a mass superior to the pancreas head.

Findings:

The tumor was surgically excised and histopathologically confirmed as gastrinoma.
Conservative surgery yielded satisfactory outcomes for the patient.

Implications:

This case highlights the importance of considering rare tumors like gastrinoma in patients with refractory peptic ulcer disease.
