摘要
Menetrier's disease is a rare disorder that is characterized by significant hypertrophy of the gastric mucosa accompanied by hypoproteinemia caused by the loss of proteins from the gastric mucosa. To the authors' knowledge, the F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) findings of Menetrier's disease have not been reported. They present F-18 FDG-PET images of a patient with Menetrier's disease that show intense accumulation of F-18 FDG in the stomach that is likely to indicate a malignant disease of the stomach.
