Abstract:
Menetrier's disease is a relative rare disease. Its origin remains obscure. The characteristics are folded thickened mucosa resulted from hyperplasia of gastric glands. This report concerns a 30-year-old man who received upper gastrointestinal (UGI) series, abdominal sonography, UGI endoscopy and computed tomography (CT) because of UGI bleeding and abdominal discomfort which finally led to the diagnosis of this disease. Radiological imaging such as UGI series and CT scan was useful to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
