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]
General
- Super rare.
- Increased risk of gastric adenocarcinoma.[1]
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:
- Men > women.
- Adults usually 50s.‡
- Associated with ulcerative colitis.
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.
