Gastrinoma is the second most common functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (pNET), with a yearly incidence of approximately 0.5 to 21.5 cases per a million of people worldwide. [5] Gastrinomas are located predominantly in the duodenum (70%) and pancreas (25%). [ 20 ]
Zollinger–Ellison syndrome may be suspected when the above symptoms prove resistant to treatment when the symptoms are especially suggestive of the syndrome, or when endoscopy is suggestive. The diagnosis is made through several laboratory tests and imaging studies: [13] Secretin stimulation test, which measures evoked gastrin levels.
Achlorhydria induces G cell (gastrin-producing) hyperplasia, which leads to hypergastrinemia. Gastrin exerts a trophic effect on enterochromaffin-like cells (ECL cells are responsible for histamine secretion) and is hypothesized to be one mechanism to explain the malignant transformation of ECL cells into carcinoid tumors in AMAG.
- Foveolar hyperplasia (black arrow), as a tortuosity in the "neck" region of the gastric glands. - Scant or minimal inflammatory cells (white arrow), i.e. lack of large numbers of neutrophils and plasma cells.. - Smooth muscle hyperplasia in the lamina propria (in black oval). The diagnosis is by examination of tissue, e.g. a stomach biopsy.
The report also called out different rates of risk factors among different races and ethnic groups. Black women were found to have the highest rate of obesity (57.9%) and Asian women had the ...

[ 5 ] About 10-15% of islet cell tumors originate from a β-cell , secrete insulin ( insulinoma ), and can cause fasting hypoglycemia . β-cell tumors are more common in patients < 40 years of age.
