title: [Ménétrier's disease and gastric carcinoma].
abstract: The authors report 4 cases of Menetrier's disease associated with gastric adenocarcinoma and one case of low-grade dysplasia. The patients (3 men and 2 women) were aged between 53 and 81 years. In three cases the diagnosis was established by histological examination of the exicised tumor; in one case it was based on microbiopsy specimen; and in another case on a gastric tissue specimen. The authors review the anatomo-clinical features of this association and raise the problem of the relationship between Menetrier's disease, dysplasia and cancer.
