Tóm tắt

A case of primary systemic amyloidosis in which the diagnosis was made antemortem is presented. Unusual gastroenterologic features included epigastric pain as the presenting complaint, proved gastric and duodenal ulceration, an episode of acute pancreatitis, and terminal jaundice. The usual gastrointestinal features included diffuse gastrointestinal tract involvement, hepatomegaly, changes in serum protein, and essentially normal liver-function tests.
