  • Title: Selective massive amyloidosis of small intestine.
    Author: Griffel B, Man B, Kraus L.
    Journal: Arch Surg; 1975 Feb; 110(2):215-7. PubMed ID: 803829.
    Abstract:
    A patient with intestinal amyloidosis with perforation was successfully treated by resection of almost the whole involved small intestine and is recuperating on hyperalimentation therapy. Because there were no signs of amyloiditic deposition in other parts of the body and no other cause of the amyloidosis, the case was considered to be selective localized intestinal amyloidosis. This is the third reported case of perforated amyloiditic intestine and apparently the first case of selective small intestinal amyloidosis involving such a complication.
