Abstract
Two new Gases of Menetrier's disease with gastric adenocarcinoma in tw o men aged 62 and 81 years, respectively, are reported. In both cases, the diagnosis was established by histologic examination of the operat ive specimen. Emphasis is placed on diagnostic difficulties and on the risk pi malignant transformation of Menetrier's disease, which should be viewed as a precancerous gastric lesion.
