Malignant Zollinger-Ellison syndrome: remission of primary and metastatic pancreatic tumor after gastrectomy: report of a case and review of the literature.
A patient with documented metastatic islet cell carcinoma of the pancreas and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, with regression of tumor after total gastrectomy is described. Pertinent similar cases are summarized further suggesting that gastrectomy may have a role in the management of the tumorous as well as the acid-secretory features of this disease.
