Strøm-Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
Also known as:
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
Zollinger-Ellison-Strøm syndrome
Associated persons:
Edwin Homer Ellison
Roar Strøm
Robert Milton Zollinger
Description:
This condition comprises a clinical triad of 1) hypesecretion of gastrin, 2) multiple, atypically located, often recurrent peptic ulcers, and 3) a noninsulin producing islet cell tumor of the pancreas. About 60 % of the tumors are malignant. Males affected slightly more frequently than females. Inheritance is autosomal dominant. When associated with familial multiple endocrine adenomatosis, the syndrome is known as the multiple endocrine neoplasia I syndrome.
The term Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is the more common. It was proposed in Gastroenterology in 1956 by B. Eiseman and R. M. Maynard.
