Localized primary gastric amyloidosis: Three case reports

Abstract: BACKGROUND Localized primary gastric amyloidosis is a rare disorder characterized by the extracellular deposition of insoluble fibrillary protein in the stomach and can mimic various diseases on endoscopic examination, including gastrointestinal stromal tumors, gastric cancer and ulcers. CASE SUMMARIES Here, we report a series of three cases of localized gastric amyloidosis mimicking gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma on endoscopic examination tha… Show more

“…Amyloidosis is a disease characterized by extracellular deposition of abnormal proteins in various tissues and can be classified into six types: primary (systemic), secondary (systemic), hemodialysis-related (systemic), hereditary (systemic), senile (systemic) and localized [ 1 ]. These proteins are abnormally folded and deposit as insoluble fibrils, which leads to derangement of tissue and organ function [ 2 ].…”

“…In most circumstances, amyloidosis presents with systemic involvement and the gastrointestinal tract is involved in 50–70% of the cases. However, localized gastroduodenal amyloidosis is quite rare [ 1 , 2 ]. The clinical manifestations of localized gastroduodenal amyloidosis are non-specific, ranging from an asymptomatic presentation to epigastric pain, vomiting, weight loss and gastrointestinal bleeding [ 1 , 3 ].…”

“…In particular, the possibility of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma needs to be considered, which is often occurs in Sjögren syndrome [2]. A few reports of single or multiple localized amyloidosis in variable organs have been described in Sjögren syndrome, most of which have a good prognosis without radical treatment [3].…”
