Ovarian gastrinoma in multiple endocrine neoplasia type I: a case report

Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2001 Jan;184(2):237-8. doi: 10.1067/mob.2001.108856.

Abstract

We report a very rare case of ovarian gastrinoma in the context of multiple endocrine neoplasia type I, including primary hyperparathyroidism and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy revealed the ovarian involvement at an early stage. Oophorectomy led to the final diagnosis and complete healing.
