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
Prevalence extremely rare

Ménétrier's disease is a very rare pathology of the stomach. It is also known as diffuse foveolar cell hyperplasia.[1]

General

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:

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.
