Summary A case of malignant endocrine tumour of the jejunum, associated with severe duodenal ulcer is described. The tumour and a local metastasis were examined by immunohistochemistry and found to contain abundant somatostatin-immunoreactive cells together with less numerous cells displaying gastrin immunoreactivity. This is to our knowledge the first case of intestinal somatostatinoma. The presence of gastrin cells in the tumour may explain the ulcer diathesis.
