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

Area of Science:

• Gastroenterology
• Pathology

Background:

• Ménétrier's disease is a rare disorder characterized by gastric mucosal hypertrophy.
• Understanding its pathogenesis is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.

Observation:

• A case of Ménétrier's disease in an adult male is presented.
• Diagnosis was confirmed via histological examination of an operative biopsy.

Findings:

• The study emphasizes the clinical presentation of Ménétrier's disease.
• Histological findings highlight the underlying hyperplastic gastropathy.

Implications:

• Accurate histological diagnosis is essential for differentiating Ménétrier's disease from other conditions.
• Radiological findings may cause diagnostic confusion with pseudohyperplastic gastropathy states.
