Abstract
Menetrier's disease is a form of hypertrophic gastropathy occurring primarily in middle-aged males, Patients generally present clinically with dyspepsia and, on occasion, with hypoproteinemic edema and anemia. The latter feature, when combined with the radiographic appearance of the stomach in Menetrier's disease, can lend to confusion with carcinoma and malignant lymphoma. A 45-year-old male was admitted with chief complaint of epigastric dscomfort. Endoscopic examination revealed the appearance of enlarged gastric folds involving the body and fundus of the stomach with relative sparing of the antrum and endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) reveals characteristic thickening with enhanced echogenicity of the second layer. Biopsies revealed foveolar hyperplasia with cystic dilatation of the glands, compatible with Menetrier's disease. We report a case of Menetrier's disease with brief review of literatures.
