“…Biopsy followed by histopathology is the most essential part of diagnosing gastric amyloidosis. When stained with H&E staining reveal amorphous eosinophilic hyaline materials under light microscope [3].Congo red staining is the gold standard to diagnose amyloid deposits. When stained with Congo red, it shows orange color and when seen under polarized microscope, it exhibits green, orange or yellow birefringence [11].As different types of amyloids have different prognosis, therefore detecting the type of amyloidosis is of utmost importance.…”

“…Localized amyloidosis is a relatively rare entity. Very few literature are available regarding Gastric Amyloidosis [3].Gastric amyloidosis presents with atypical and nonspeci c presentations as well [3]. Hence, we are reporting a case of Gastric amyloidosis, we have recently experienced at our center.…”

Introduction: Amyloidosis are abnormal misfolded proteins that are resistant to degradation. Due to defective metabolism, they may be deposited in various organs causing organ dysfunction. Localized amyloidosis is a rare disorder.Case Presentation: We are describing a case of isolated Gastric amyloidosis who presented with recurrent hematemesis and melena due to gastric ulcers. Gastroscopy revealed Multiple Gastric ulcers of variable sizes and shapes. Biopsy followed by histopathology with Congo red staining revealed Gastric amyloidosis.Conclusion: Amyloidosis is a rare disorder. Localized amyloidosis is much rarer compared to systemic amyloidosis. Compared to systemic amyloidosis, localized amyloidosis has a better prognosis. High level of suspicion is needed to diagnose amyloidosis as a rare case of gastric ulcer.
