Gallbladder and gastric argyrophil carcinoid associated with a case of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

Abstract

Gastric carcinoids are uncommon tumors, reportedly associated with pathological hypergastrinemic states such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES). Gallbladder carcinoids are also very rare, but have not previously been reported in association with ZES. In this report we discuss a patient with ZES in whom both gastric and gallbladder carcinoid tumors were found.
