Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Pathology
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Localized amyloidosis, deposition of amyloid protein without systemic involvement, is a rare condition affecting various organs.
  • Amyloidosis can manifest in the gastrointestinal tract, but localized gastric involvement is particularly uncommon.

Observation:

  • A 67-year-old male presented with weight loss, fatigue, and poor appetite.
  • Investigations revealed megaloblastic anemia and a 5mm purple polypoid lesion in the gastric cardia during upper endoscopy.
  • Histopathology confirmed amyloid material deposition within the gastric mucosa.

Findings:

  • The patient's condition was diagnosed as localized amyloidosis of the stomach.
  • No evidence of systemic amyloidosis was found.

  • The case highlights a rare association between localized gastric amyloidosis and megaloblastic anemia.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of localized amyloidosis presentations.
    • It underscores the importance of thorough investigation in patients with unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms and anemia.
    • Further research may elucidate the specific mechanisms linking gastric amyloidosis and megaloblastic anemia.
