Gastrinomas may occur as single tumors or as multiple, small tumors. About one-half to two-thirds of single gastrinomas are malignant tumors that most commonly spread to the liver and lymph node near the pancreas and small bowel.

MEN I patients have tumors in their pituitary gland and parathyroid glands, in addition to tumors of the pancreas.
