Gastric polyps are extensions of the mucosa or submucosal space that are usually asymptomatic. One of the rare manifestations of gastric polyps is Menetrier's disease. Menetrier's disease (MD), also known as giant hypertrophic gastritis, is a progressive disease whose pathogenesis is not fully understood. Though a rare diagnosis, it needs to be well studied due to its association with the neoplasia. Here, we present a case of Menitriere's disease associated with gastrointestinal bleeding and describe its clinical course and outcome.
