Early gastric cancer in a patient with Menetrier's disease, lymphocytic gastritis and Helicobacter pylori
Abstract
Objective: To describe a patient with early gastric cancer, Menetrier's disease, lymphocytic gastritis and Helicobacter pylori infection.
Design: A single patient case report.
Patient: A 73-year-old man presenting with lower limb deep venous thrombosis was found to have a gastric adenocarcinoma on upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. He subsequently had a total gastrectomy.
Results: Histological examination of the resected stomach showed an early gastric cancer and changes typical of Menetrier's disease, lymphocytic gastritis and Helicobacter-associated chronic gastritis.
Conclusion: This case suggests a link between gastric adenocarcinoma, Menetrier's disease and lymphocytic gastritis. The presence of H. pylori is postulated as a possible aetiology.
