| Ménétrier's disease | |
|---|---|
| Diagnosis in short | |
|
| |
| LM | marked foveolar cell hyperplasia, decreased parietal cells, +/-inflammation |
| LM DDx | Cronkhite-Canada syndrome, hyperplastic polyp of the stomach |
| Gross | "bag of worms" appearance - very thick gastric folds |
| Site | stomach |
|
| |
| Associated Dx | gastric adenocarcinoma |
| Signs | emesis (intractible), peripheral edema |
| Symptoms | abdominal pain |
| Prevalence | extremely rare |
General
- Super rare.
- Increased risk of gastric adenocarcinoma.[1]
Clinical:[2]
- Classical: nausea, emesis, abdominal pain and peripheral edema.
- Emesis (intractable) - most important.
Other:
- Gastric mass (may mimic cancer).
- Hypochlorhydria.
- Protein loss (hypoalbuminemia) - leads to peripheral edema.
Epidemiology:
- Men > women.
- Adults usually 50s.
- Associated with ulcerative colitis.
Treatment:
- EGFR inhibitors.[3]
- Gastrectomy.
Gross
- "Bag of worms" appearance - very thick gastric folds.
Microscopic
Features:[1]
- Foveolar cell hyperplasia - key feature.
- Decreased parietal cells.
- +/-Inflammation.
