ABSTRACT
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES) is a rare condition caused by gastrin-secreting neuroendocrine tumors known as gastrinomas. We present a case of hepatic ZES presenting as upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding in a 70-year-old female. Initial evaluation revealed the patient to be in severe sepsis with septic shock secondary to a urinary tract infection, and her hospitalization was complicated by hematemesis and melena in the setting of multiple duodenal ulcers. Subsequent investigations, including elevated gastrin levels and a somatostatin receptor scan, confirmed the diagnosis of gastrinoma.
