Recurrent Gastric Hemorrhaging with Large Submucosal Hematomas in a Patient with Primary AL Systemic Amyloidosis: Endoscopic and Histopathological Findings

この論文をさがす

説明

A 64-year-old woman who suffered intractable gastric ulcers with hemorrhaging showed huge submucosal hematomas in her stomach on the endoscopic examination. Since gastric mucosal biopsy revealed amyloid deposition and IgG λ type M protein was detectable in her serum, she was diagnosed as having primary AL systemic amyloidosis. The gastric hemorrhages did not improve despite intensive medication, so total gastrectomy was performed, resulting in an unfavorable outcome. Massive deposition of amyloid with A λ immunoreactivity was seen on the submucosal vessels in her stomach. This is a rare primary AL systemic amyloidosis case showing recurrent and fatal gastric submucosal hematomas.
