Abstract
Menetrier disease (MD) is a very rare stomach pathology of unknown etiology characterized by manifest hypertrophy of gastric mucosa. The main causes of MD are believed to be Helicobacter pylori and cytomegalovirus infections. The most frequent symptom is epigastric pain. Also common are peripheral oedema due to hypoalbuminemia and increased permeability of gastric mucosa. The main diagnostic signs of MD include diffusive enhancement of mucosal folds, foveolar hyperplasia and glandular atrophy with a decrease in the number of main and parietal cells, hypoalbuminemia and peripheral oedema. MD being a very rare condition, the optimal methodfor its treatment is unknown.
