OBJECTIVE: To describe a patient with early gastric cancer, Menetrier's disease, lymphocytic gastritis and Helicobacter pylori infection. DESIGN: A single patient case report. PATIENT: A 73-year-old man presenting with lower limb deep venous thrombosis was found to have a gastric adenocarcinoma on upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. He subsequently had a total gastrectomy. RESULTS: Histological examination of the resected stomach showed an early gastric cancer and changes typical of Menetrier's disease, lymphocytic gastritis and Helicobacter-associated chronic gastritis. CONCLUSION: This case suggests a link between gastric adenocarcinoma, Menetrier's disease and lymphocytic gastritis. The presence of H. pylori is postulated as a possible aetiology.
