MENDOZA DE MOLANO, Belén; LOPEZ, Rocío; MAURICIO, Palau e ANDREWS, Shirley. Linitis plastica: Presentation as hypertrophic gastropathy. Rev Col Gastroenterol [online]. 2009, vol.24, n.1, pp.72-78. ISSN 0120-9957.
We present 78 year old Colombian lady who had lost weight and had giant gastric folds in her upper endoscopy. Intensive work up was done including extra large biopsies done with polipectomy snares. The pathology diagnosed hypertrophic gastropathy. Endoscopic ultrasound of the stomach diagnosed a very thick gastric wall. Only after total gastrectomy was done, Linitis Plastica was diagnosed. We review giant gastric folds as well as causes and classification of the hypertrophic gastropathy.
