Sumario:A 60-year-old man was referred for the investigation of giant gastric folds, life-threatening anemia and hypoproteinemia. A combination of multiple endoscopic procedures derived a clinical diagnosis of protein-losing gastropathy with two gastric adenomas. After two months of alimentary therapy, the patient received total gastrectomy and fully recovered. The final pathological diagnosis was hypertrophic gastropathy of unknown origin with concomitant adenocarcinoma arising from a gastric type adenoma.
