[Menetrier disease. Clinico-pathologic study of a case].

Abstract

A classic case of Ménétrier's disease in an adult male, diagnosed by histological examination of operative biopsy is reported. Stress is laid on the clinical aspects of the disease and on the histological aspects of that particular type of hyperplastic gastropathy that underlies it. Brief mention is also made of the states of pseudohyperplastic gastropathy that may represent a source of diagnostic confusion, particularly from the radiological viewpoint.
