Zollinger-Ellison syndrome in a cat.
Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome in a 12-year old castrated male European Shorthair cat is described. The clinical symptoms were vomiting, weight loss, listlessness and alternating diarrhoea and obstipation. An endocrine tumour near the pancreatic duct had metastasised to the liver. Many duodenal ulcers were present. Immunohistochemistry revealed cells positive for gastrin and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) scattered throughout the tumour.
