Progression of Menetrier’s Disease with Postoperative Gastrojejunal Intussusception

Abstract

A unique case of Menetrier's disease of the stomach with long term follow-up is presented to document progression of extent of the disease radiologically and pathologically. This observation provides an insight into the natural history of the condition and suggests that local excision is not necessarily curative. In addition, this case demonstrates the complication of preoperative direct prolapse of involved gastric mucosa through the pylorus, and subsequent postoperative antegrade intussusception of the progressively involved gastric mucosa across a Billroth II gastrojejunostomy.
