“…In conclusion, any solitary lesion of the colon may not always be what it appears on colonoscopy [3]. Microscopic examination results can be surprising [4]. Therefore, one should always consider the possibility of amyloidoma.…”

“…1,2 The deposition of AL type amyloid protein in the GI tract was marked in the muscular layer of the mucosa, and in the blood vessel walls of the submucosa and muscularis propria, whereas for the AA type the lamina propria is primarily involed. 2,3 The most common GI manifestations include bleeding, malabsorption, obstruction or pseudo-obstruction, poor motility, infarction, ischemia, nodules or ulceration. 1,5,6 Our patient had intermittent diarrhea.…”

Amyloidosis can involve a single organ or multiple organs. The gastrointestinal tract is a common site of amyloid deposition. We report a rare case of solitary rectal amyloidosis in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus who had experienced recurrent oral candidiasis for 3 months and intermittent diarrhea for 6 months. The lesion was confirmed histologically and there were no detectable amyloid lesions at other gastrointestinal sites or systemic involvement. (Gut and Liver 2009;3:57-59)

“…Although amyloidosis can occur in virtually any organ system in the body, including the gastrointestinal tract, localized amyloidosis in the gut is rare [2,3]. Here, we present a case that required emergent surgery due to extensive localized amyloidotic involvement of the descending colon.…”

Mechanical Bowel Obstruction Due to Localized Extensive Amyloidotic Involvement in the Left Colon

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Amyloidosis is a disorder caused by extracellular deposition of insoluble protein fibrils in various tissues. Colonic amyloidosis is a rare clinical manifestation which can mimic tumor, inflammatory bowel disease, or ischemic colitis. The most common symptoms of colonic amyloidosis include bleeding, ulceration, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. However, colonic obstruction due to extensive submucosal amyloidosis is extremely rare. Considering the wide variety of symptoms and potentially effected organs, the diagnosis can be challenging particularly in emergent conditions. In this paper, a case with mechanic bowel obstruction due to extensive amyloidotic involvement of the left colon is presented.
