Abstract
- Lymphocytic gastritis is a recently described gastric inflammation, characterized by an increased intraepithelial lymphocytic infiltrate mainly composed of T-lymphocytes. Endoscopically it correlates mainly with diffuse varioliform gastritis. Ménétrier's disease is a hypertrophic gastropathy with enlarged gastric folds. The histological picture is that of foveolar hyperplasia and glandular cysts of the mucosa. A few small series of lymphocytic gastritis with microscopic and endoscopic features of Ménétrier's disease have been published previously. We describe a similar case associated with a gastric adenocarcinoma.
