Abstract
Menetrier’s disease is a rare gastric disease of unspecified etiology, which was named after the French physician Pierre Eugène Menetrier, who described the pathology in 1888. The disease belongs to the group of orphan diseases, the ethology and pathogenesis of which remain unknown to this day. In the history of medicine, slightly more than 300 cases of this nosological unit have been described. The clinical picture of the disease has no pathognomonic symptoms, as a result of which diagnostic errors and, accordingly, treatment errors may occur, often leading to a protracted and severe course of the disease. This article presents our own clinical observation, during which, as a result of a long diagnostic search, the patient was given a final diagnosis - Menetrier’s disease.
