title: [Ménétrier's disease. Apropos of 2 personal cases].
abstract: Two cases of Ménétrier's disease are presented. Gastric resection was adopted due to necessity in one case, and total gastrectomy in the other. Gastric and digestive exploration, particularly gastroscopy, are regarded as indispensable diagnostic steps. Total gastrectomy is the treatment of choice. This prevents further protein loss and possible malignant degeneration.
