Abstract

Amyloidosis is a rare disease characterized by forming pathological protein deposits in organs or tissues. The localized form of amyloidosis affecting small intestine is rare. We report a case of small intestine amyloidosis which presented gastrointestinal bleeding and abdominal pain. We also display radiologic features of amyloidosis of the small bowel which will add evidence to accurate diagnosis and management.
