Abstract

2 patients presented with exudative gastropathy, anemia and severe hypoproteinemia. A 9 years old boy had hypertrophic glandular gastritis, involving almost all of the stomach and the other, a 4 month’s old boy, had an undifferentiated Teratoma at the level of the lesser curvature. Endoscopy was performed in both, leading to the definitive diagnoses in the 1st but not in the 2nd, in whom it could only be obtained in the operative specimen. The 1st had a total gastrectomy and the 2nd a partial gastrectomy, with lymph node dissection, associated with a pyloromyotomy and partial fundoplication. Both have remained cured and are living a normal life.
