[Localized Ménétrier disease and stomach cancer].
Corresponding to the state of knowledge of today the diffuse form of Morbus Ménétrier evidently develops from the localized one. This rare affection of the mucous membrane of the stomach ought to be regarded as a strong indication to operation to operation because the Ménétrier disease is not to cure conservatively, but in its diffuse development often results in complications threatening life and in extreme frequency tends to a kind of carcinomal degeneration, that is recognized too late mostly. The localized form in the distal stomach is to cured by a subtotal resection of the stomach, the diffuse form and the localization in the proximal stomach only by the gastrectomy.
