This study details 12 Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES) cases, including unique presentations and successful treatments. Findings highlight endoscopic removal and surgical cures, even in a domestic cat.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES) is a rare condition characterized by gastrin-producing tumors (gastrinomas).
  • Effective diagnosis and management of ZES are crucial for patient outcomes.

Observation:

  • Twelve patients with ZES were diagnosed and treated over seven years, exhibiting diverse clinical manifestations.
  • A 74-year-old man with ZES achieved a cure through endoscopic removal of a duodenal gastrinoma.
  • A unique case involved a 10-year-old cat with ZES that was surgically cured, yielding valuable research material.

Findings:

  • Endoscopic removal of submucosal duodenal gastrinomas, aided by intraoperative endoscopic transillumination, offers a viable curative approach.
  • Surgical intervention can be curative for ZES, even in non-human subjects.

  • Analysis of a feline gastrinoma enabled the first determination of the cat gastrin sequence.

    • Implications:

    • This study underscores the importance of considering ZES in patients with refractory peptic ulcer disease and related symptoms.
    • Minimally invasive endoscopic techniques represent a promising therapeutic strategy for select ZES cases.
    • The findings contribute to a broader understanding of gastrinoma biology and ZES management across species.
