Neuroendocrine islet cell tumour producing gastrin and ACTH in a patient with calcifying chronic pancreatitis.

Abstract

A patient with a calcifying chronic pancreatitis was found to have a neuroendocrine islet cell tumour (a previously unreported association). The tumour secreted both gastrin and ACTH leading to clinical manifestations of both the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and Cushing's syndrome.
