Abstract

Gastrinoma, a common type of GEP-NENs, is often sporadic, rarely manifested as multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1). We described a rare case of MEN1-related gastrinomas in the stomach, duodenum and pancreas along with lymph node metastases. The female patient had a long history of recurrent abdominal pain and diarrhea. G1 neuroendocrine tumors were diagnosed by endoscopic biopsy in the pylorus, duodenal bulb and the neck of the pancreas successively. Her symptoms lessened and serum gastrin level decreased after surgery. This case will help us learn more about MEN1-associated patients who are confirmed with multiple neuroendocrine tumors.
