In 1988 Menetrier described polyadenomes en nappe also known as hypertrophic or hyperplastic gastropathy, giant hypertrophic gastritis, and giant hypertrophy of gastric rugae. Moderate to severe hypoproteinemia and hypochlorhydria are often encountered. Radiographically and grossly, the condition can be confused with malignant lymphoma and carcinoma. Microscopically there is a striking foveciar hyperplasia accompanied by tortuosity. The glandular content ´ is diminished, and the stroma is edematous and inflamed. Carcinoma may develop in a stomach affected by Menetrier´s disease, but the incidence is differently appreciate by authors.
