Abstract
Primary hypertrophic antro-pyloric stenosis in adults is a misleading anato mic and radioclinical entity. It consists of hypertrophy of the internal mu scular layer. Distal gastrectomy is the only effective treatment of the sym ptomatic form and allows a pathologic study of the gastrectomy, thus ruling out most causes of obstruction, including neoplastic ones. Its congenital origin has not been established We report the case of a 59 year-old man who had primary hypertrophic pyloric stenosis.
