This is a very rare condition where small tumors known as Gastrinoma developed in the digestive tract. Specially on the Stomach but in the other part also like small intestine, Pancreas etc.
This tumors secrete Gastrin which is a hormone, in large amount. Gastrin stimulates gastric acid secretion a great deal. The excessive secretion of gastric acid try to neutralize the mucous membrane on the inner part of the stomach and therefore causes inflammation here and there which ultimately turn into ulcer. In common tounge we called it gastric ulcer.
Once a people got effected with this syndrome are often hard to cure.
This syndrome can appear at any age but the people in between 30 - 60 age group are more vulnerable to this.
Once developed the tumours can spread upto liver and lymph nodes and turn to cancer.
