OVERVIEW• Rare stomach condition, more common in men, usually

occurs between age 30-60.

• Cause unclear, linked to abnormally high levels of

transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF- )α .

• Involves enlarged stomach rugae due to overgrowth

of surface mucous cells (hypertrophy).

• Excess mucus secretion causing hypoproteinemia.

• Reduction in parietal cells causing decreased

stomach acid.
