Amyloidosis is a rare disease that is characterized by abnormal deposition of amyloid proteins in tissues, resulting in local, or systemic disease. When localized, it can present as an amyloidoma. We report a case of mesenteric amyloidosis in an 80-year-old male who was found to have an incidental mesenteric mass that was biopsy-proven to represent non-light chain amyloid tissue.
淀粉样变性是一种罕见疾病,其特征是淀粉样蛋白在组织中异常沉积,导致局部或全身性疾病。当病变局限时,可表现为淀粉样瘤。我们报告一例80岁男性肠系膜淀粉样变性病例,该患者偶然发现肠系膜肿物,活检证实为非轻链淀粉样组织。
