Menetrier's disease is a rare, characterized by the presence of large rugal folds involving part or all of the stomach.

A 64 year old male patient was admitted with the chief complaint of epigastric discomfort. Endoscopic, radiologic and histologic examination, revealed characteristic findings of Menetrier's disease. A case of Menetrier's disease is reported with a brief review of literature.
