Menetrier disease (also known as giant hypertrophic gastritis or hypoproteinemic hypertrophic gastropathy) is a rare entity characterized by protein losing enteropathy, hypochlorhydria and thickening of the mucosal folds of the fundus and the gastric corpus. 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. This article describes a clinical case and provides a brief review of the literature.
