“…Gastric amyloidosis could be misdiagnosed as gastric cancer because of the likeness in endoscopic and radiologic findings. Bedioui et al14 reported a case of gastric amyloidosis mimicking linitis plastica. Although they performed various examinations, including gastroscopy with biopsy, barium meal, and endoscopic ultrasonography, they did not find any evidence of amyloidosis.…”

Amyloidosis is a group of disorders characterized by the extracellular accumulation of insoluble, fibrillar proteins in various organs and tissues. It is classified, on the basis of the identity of the precursor protein, as primary, secondary, or familial amyloidosis. Gastrointestinal amyloidosis usually presents as bleeding, ulceration, malabsorption, protein loss, and diarrhea. However, gastric amyloidosis with gastric outlet obstruction mimicking linitis plastica is rare. We report a case of gastrointestinal amyloidosis with gastric outlet obstruction in a patient with ankylosing spondylitis. The patient was indicated for subtotal gastrectomy because of the aggravation of obstructive symptoms, but refused the operation and was transferred to another hospital. Three months later, the patient died of aspiration pneumonia during medical treatment.
