< Atras Una causa importante de la úlcera péptica, aunque mucho menos común que la bacteria H. pylori o los fármacos antiinflamatorios no esteroideos (AINES), es el síndrome de Zollinger-Ellison, en el cual se produce una cantidad excesiva de ácido como respuesta a la sobreproducción de la hormona gastrina, que a su vez es causada por tumores del páncreas o el duodeno. Estos tumores, que por lo general son malignos, se debe extirpar y se debe suprimir la producción de ácido para aliviar la reincidencia de la úlcera.
