Resumen
CORREA, Bárbara et al. Localized gastrointestinal amyloidosis presenting with protein-losing enteropathy and massive hemorrhage. Rev. esp. enferm. dig. [online]. 2017, vol.109, n.12, pp.867-869. ISSN 1130-0108. https://dx.doi.org/10.17235/reed.2017.5067/2017.
Amyloidosis of the gastrointestinal tract is usually a systemic disease. Localized gastrointestinal amyloidosis without evidence of extraintestinal involvement or an associated plasma cell dyscrasia is uncommon and does not usually cause death. We report a case of a patient with localized gastrointestinal amyloidosis who presented with protein-losing enteropathy and a fatal upper gastrointestinal bleed.
Palabras clave : Amyloidosis; Gastrointestinal bleeding; Protein-losing enteropathy.
