<unk>  is a rare, idiopathic, premalignant disease of the mucous glands of the stomach characterized by massive gastric folds. The most commonly involved location is the fundus and corpus of the stomach. It is thought that<unk>  is often due to excessive secretion of transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-α). The altered gastric mucosa secretes massive amounts of mucus, resulting in low plasma protein levels (albumin) with variable degree of inflammation.
