Spontaneous achlorhydria with atrophic gastritis in the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. 1969

H G Desai, and F P Antia

This case report describes the occurrence of spontaneous, persistent achlorhydria in a patient with markedly raised basal acid secretion and diarrhoea for over two years (Zollinger-Ellison syndrome). Achlorhydria was due to the rapid development of severe atrophic gastritis in a gastric mucosa that had previously shown markedly increased numbers of parietal cells.

D005753	Gastric Mucosa	Lining of the STOMACH, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. The surface cells produce MUCUS that protects the stomach from attack by digestive acid and enzymes. When the epithelium invaginates into the LAMINA PROPRIA at various region of the stomach (CARDIA; GASTRIC FUNDUS; and PYLORUS), different tubular gastric glands are formed. These glands consist of cells that secrete mucus, enzymes, HYDROCHLORIC ACID, or hormones.

D015043	Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome	A syndrome that is characterized by the triad of severe PEPTIC ULCER, hypersecretion of GASTRIC ACID, and GASTRIN-producing tumors of the PANCREAS or other tissue (GASTRINOMA). This syndrome may be sporadic or be associated with MULTIPLE ENDOCRINE NEOPLASIA TYPE 1.	Syndrome, Zollinger-Ellison,Zollinger Ellison Syndrome
