[Giant hypertrophy of the gastric antrum (localized Menetrier's disease) as a cause of recurrent intestinal hemorrhage].
A case of discrete, localised Morbus Ménétrier is reported, with pitting of a giant mucosal fold at the antrum, where the patients' main symptom was recurrent gastric haemorrhage. The presentation posed considerable diagnostic difficulties that were only clarified through a partial gastric resection and subsequent histological examination.
