Duodenal ulcer due to Zollinger-Ellison syndrome – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/749590505

Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is a rare cause of duodenal ulcer secondary to gastric acid hypersecretion due to unregulated gastrin release from a non-? cell endocrine tumour (gastrinoma) of pancreas or duodenum. Ulcers typically form in the duodenal bulb, but may also be seen in the distal duodenum and jejunum, and multiple ulcers are commonly seen.
