Osteoblastic bone metastasis in Zollinger-Ellison syndrome

Abstract

The authors describe a case of osteoblastic metastasis in a patient with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome resulting from the presence of a pancreatic tumor, which they believe is the first such case documented. Following a total gastectomy for hyperacidity in a 53-year-old woman, a gradually enlarging liver was treated with steptozotocin. Radiation therapy to the areas of bony metastases resulted in complete alleviation of pain.
