[Varioliform gastritis revealed by edema with hypoproteinemia (author's transl)]
Abstract:
The authors report the case of a woman in whom edemas with hypoproteinemia, but without digestive symptoms, were present for several months. Roentgenography, fiberoptic endoscopy, and histopathology showed typical varioliform gastritis. Hypoproteinemia was due to plasma protein leakage into the digestive tract. Edema disappeared spontaneously while gastric pain developed.
