Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES) is

an endocrinopathy characterised by gastrin-secreting tumours, which cause multiple, refractory and recurrent peptic ulcers in the distal duodenum and proximal jejunum. There are two main variants:

Sporadic (isolated).

Associated with parathyroid and pituitary tumours as part of the genetic disorder .

The tumour (gastrinoma) is usually in the duodenum (60-65%) or the pancreas (30%). In rare cases, gastrinomas occur in other abdominal locations (eg, the stomach, liver, bile duct, ovary) and also extra-abdominal locations (eg, the heart, lung - small cell lung cancer)
