Abstract
Gastrinomas are endocrine tumors associated with the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES). Surgical exploration is recommended to achieve a cure in all patients without liver metastasis or multiple endocrine neoplasm-I. For those who refuse surgical exploration or for those who are not surgical candidates, medical treatment with proton pump inhibitors has a role in controlling the complications. There are few data in which endoscopic therapy has been used to treat symptomatic duodenal gastrinomas. Thus, we report a case of a duodenal gastrinoma that was treated with endoscopic band ligation (EBL).
