Diagnosis
The diagnosis of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is made by several laboratory tests and imaging studies.
Laboratory tests:
- secretin stimulation test, which measures gastrin levels in response to secretin
- fasting gastrin levels
- antral acidity
Therapy
Proton pump inhibitors (such as omeprazole and lansoprazole) and histamine H2-receptor antagonists (such as famotidine and ranitidine) are used to slow down acid secretion. If possible the tumours should be surgically removed, or treated with chemotherapy.
Octreotide can be used to slow down acid secretion.
History
The disease entity was first described in 1955 by its namesakes: Zollinger RM, Ellison EH. Primary peptic ulcerations of the jejunum associated with islet cell tumors of the pancreas. Ann Surg 1955;142:709-23. PMID 13259432.
