What is another word for zollinger-ellison syndrome?
Pronunciation: [zˈɒlɪŋɡəɹˈɛlɪsən sˈɪndɹə͡ʊm] (IPA) 
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is a rare condition characterized by the development of tumors within the pancreas and/or the upper part of the small intestine. This results in the excessive production of gastrin, a hormone that stimulates the stomach to produce more acid. This can cause a range of symptoms, such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and peptic ulcers. Synonyms for Zollinger-Ellison syndrome include gastrinoma, pancreatic ulcerogenic tumor syndrome, and multiple endocrine neoplasia type I. While there is no cure for this condition, treatment typically involves medications that reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach and sometimes surgical removal of the tumors.
