Abstract
A newborn with hypoalbuminemia, hematochezia, and hypertrophic gastropathy is described. These features are similar to those reported in association with prostaglandin therapy in newborns, as well as those described in so-called Ménétrier's disease. Very few cases of hypertrophic gastropathy have been reported in children and fewer still verified histologically; only three other cases have been reported in newborns. The clinical and pathologic features of hypertrophic gastropathy in children, as well as its close association with eosinophilic gastroenteritis and with prostaglandin therapy, are discussed.
