Hypertrophic gastropathy with gastric adenocarcinoma: Menetrier's disease and lymphocytic gastritis?

Antral hypertrophic gastritis: a rare cause of iron deficiency.

A case of an unusual hypertrophic gastropathy confined to the gastric antrum which presented with chronic anaemia is described. The clinical and pathological features are contrasted with Menetrier's disease and hypersecretory hypertrophic gastropathy, and a possible relation to solitary hyperplastic (regenerative) polyps is discussed.

Hyperplastic gastropathy as a presenting manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus.

A patient is described who had severe hyperplastic gastropathy as the presenting manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Aggressive immunosuppressive therapy with systemic corticosteroids and immunoglobulins resulted in complete remission of lupus, and a prompt clinical and radiological regression of hyperplastic gastropathy. Hyperplastic gastropathy is an uncommon gastric illness,...

Menetrier's Disease with Gastrointestinal Bleed

A 22-year-old male presented with recurrent upper gastrointestinal bleeding along with pain in the abdomen. An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed Menetrier’s disease affecting the body of the stomach, which was confirmed histopathologically [Figure 1]. There was hyperplasia of foveolar cells with elongation of the crypts, decrease in the number of gastric glands and mild lymphocytic infi...

Intramucosal carcinoma of the gastric antrum complicating Menetrier's disease.

A 48-year-old man presented with haematemesis and was found to have Menetrier's disease. Three and a half years later early gastric cancer was detected at routine follow-up endoscopy. This is the first report of the development of early gastric cancer during follow-up in a case of Menetrier's disease. It is probable that patients with Menetrier's disease are at increased risk of gastric cancer,...
