  • Title: [Ménétrier's disease and gastric cancer].
    Author: Ramia JM, Sancho E, Lozano O, Santos JM, Domínguez F.
    Journal: Cir Esp; 2007 Mar; 81(3):153-4. PubMed ID: 17349241.
    Abstract:
    Ménétrier's disease is an infrequent hypertrophic disease of the stomach associated with hypoproteinemia of unknown etiology. This disease is considered to be premalignant since 10-15% of affected individuals develop gastric cancer. We present a 66-year-old patient who had received a diagnosis of Ménétrier's disease 13 years previously and who was found to have advanced antral gastric cancer during follow-up. We provide an update on the optimal therapeutic approach, which has not been clearly defined to date.
