AI Article Synopsis
- The case study focuses on a 1 year and 9 months old patient showing signs of gastrinoma, supported by high serum gastrin levels after fasting.
- An endoscopy revealed an elevated lesion with central depression, prompting further examination.
- The tumor was found to be benign with hyperplasia of argentaffin cells, highlighting that while gastrinoma is rare in children, it should not be overlooked when symptoms are present.
Article Abstract
The authors present the clinical, laboratory and radiological findings suggestive ofgastrinoma in a patient 1 year and 9 months old. Laboratory tests obtained after fasting revealed elevated serum gastrin, supporting the suspected diagnosis of gastrinoma. In the endoscopy an elevated lesion with central depression was observed. The immunohistochemical examination revealed the benign nature of the tumor and the hyperplasia of argentaffin cells. Gastrinoma is a rare disease that predominantly affects young adults, but it must be considered in the pediatric group when clinical and laboratorial features of this disease are observed.
