title: [Primary muscular antro-pyloric hypertrophy in the adult: case report].
abstract: Primary hypertrophic antro-pyloric stenosis in adults is a misleading anatomic and radioclinical entity. It consists of hypertrophy of the internal muscular layer. Distal gastrectomy is the only effective treatment of the symptomatic form and allows a pathologic study of the gastrectomy, thus ruling out most causes of obstruction, including neoplastic ones. Its congenital origin has not been established. We report the case of a 59 year-old man who had primary hypertrophic pyloric stenosis.
