Abstract

Gastric acid hypersecretion and raised plasma gastrin levels were found in a young Black patient who presented with a perforated duodenal ulcer. The clinical and laboratory features are described and discussed. Although no tumour was found at laparotomy, the persistence of hypergastrinaemia after total gastrectomy confirmed the diagnosis of the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
