“…The adult type is mostly 40-60 years old, and Helicobacter pylori infection may be related to adult type MD. Adult-type lesions are characterized by gradual progress and have the potential to become cancerous[ 11 , 12 ]. The main symptoms are abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, anemia, hypochlorhydria, and edema of surrounding tissues[ 13 , 14 ].…”

BACKGROUND Gastric mucosal hypertrophy, also known as Menetrier's disease (MD), is more common in men over 50 years of age, and the cause is unknown. The symptoms of the disease are atypical, mostly accompanied by hypoproteinemia and edema, and sometimes accompanied by symptoms such as epigastric pain, weight loss, and diarrhea. Most experts believe that the site of the disease is mainly located in the fundus of the stomach and the body of the stomach. We found that the site of the disease in this patient involved the antrum of the stomach. CASE SUMMARY We introduced the case of a 24-year-old woman who had repeated vomiting for 5 d and was admitted to our hospital. After various examinations such as computed tomography and pathology in our hospital, the final diagnosis of the presented case is MD. The salient feature is that the mucosal folds in the fundus and body of the stomach are huge and present in the shape of gyrus. The greater curvature is more prominent, and there are multiple erosions or ulcers on the folds. The patient did not undergo gastric surgery and did not undergo re-examination. She is drinking Chinese medicine for treatment, and her vomiting and abdominal pain symptoms have improved. This disease is relatively rare in clinical practice, and it is easy to be misdiagnosed as gastric cancer, chronic gastritis and gastric lymphoma, etc . CONCLUSION MD can occur in the antrum, it is necessary to raise awareness of the disease and reduce misdiagnosis.

“…Steroids and antibiotics have also been used but with conflicting results. It should be noted that, given the low prevalence of this disease, none of these treatments have had clinical trials with the required methodological rigor, so all reports are now considered anecdotal experiences [19].…”

Ménétrier's disease (MD) (also known as giant hypertrophic gastritis or hypoproteinemic hypertrophic gastropathy) is a rare premalignant entity characterized by markedly hypertrophied mucosal folds of the fundus and the gastric corpus typically associated with , hypochlorhydria, protein losing enteropathy causing hypoalbuminemia and anemia. However, the natural history of MD in adults remains unclear and is rarely reported in the literature. Its constellation of classic symptoms includes nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and peripheral edema, and it is associated with increased risk of gastric cancer. Nevertheless, its pathophysiology is not yet fully understood and clinical and endoscopic diagnosis can be difficult to establish. Malignant transformation in MD should not be overlooked, and regular monitoring of the gastric mucosa via endoscopy is necessary.

“…Los esteroides y antibióticos también se han utilizado con resultados contradictorios. Cabe resaltar que, dada la baja prevalencia de esta enfermedad, ninguno de estos tratamientos incluye ensayos clínicos con la rigurosidad metodológica requerida y por ahora se consideran experiencias anecdóticas (8).…”

La enfermedad de Ménétrier, también conocida como gastritis hipertrófica gigante o gastropatía hipertrófica hipoproteinémica, es una entidad poco frecuente, caracterizada por una gastroenteropatía perdedora de proteínas, hipoclorhidria y engrosamiento de los pliegues mucosos del fondo y el cuerpo gástrico; es causante de un grupo clásico de síntomas que incluyen náuseas, vómitos, dolor abdominal y edema periférico; se asocia con un mayor riesgo de cáncer gástrico, sin embargo, su fisiopatología aún no está del todo esclarecida y su diagnóstico, clínico y endoscópico, puede llegar a ser difícil de establecer, por lo que se describe un caso clínico y se presenta una revisión sucinta de la literatura.
