Zollinger-Ellison syndrome due to gastrin-secreting ovarian cystadenocarcinoma. Case report.
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome in a 76-year-old woman is reported. The source of the hypergastrinemia proved to be an ovarian cystadenocarcinoma. Resection was performed and the diagnosis was confirmed histologically, immunohistochemically and by determination of gastrin in tumor tissue and in serum. The long-term result was good.
