SARDINAS PONCE, Raysy  y  GUERRA LEAL, Obel Alcides. Ménétrier's disease as a rare entity. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2018, vol.57, n.1, pp. 58-62. ISSN 1561-2945.

The Ménétrier's disease is defined as multiple gastric polyposis. It is an infrequent entity characterized by hyperplastic polyps less than 2 centimeters in diameter, which rarely become malignant. We present a patient with Ménétrier's disease, who underwent endoscopic follow-up for three years and, due to the progressive increase in the number of polyps and the symptomatology, was performed a subtotal gastrectomy without intraoperative or postoperative complications.

Palabras clave : intestinal polyposis; stomach; surgery.
