Ménétrier's disease is a very rare pathology of the stomach. It is also known as diffuse foveolar cell hyperplasia,[1] and hypertrophic protein-losing gastropathy.[2][3]

Ménétrier's disease
Diagnosis in short

Biopsy compatible with Ménétrier's disease. H&E stain.
Synonyms diffuse foveolar cell hyperplasia, hypertrophic protein-losing gastropathy,
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
Endoscopy very thick gastric folds
Clin. DDx gastric cancer

General

Clinical:[4]

  • 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:

Treatment:

  • EGFR inhibitors.[5]
  • Gastrectomy.

Note:

  • ‡ A similar constellation of symptoms can be seen in children and may be associated with CMV infection.[3][6]

Gross

  • "Bag of worms" appearance - very thick gastric folds.
