A patient with gastrointestinal bleeding due to amyloidosis-related factor X deficiency had extensive calcified retroperitoneal amyloid deposition that was visible on plain radiographs and then localized by computed tomography. The radiologic findings were important in arriving at the proper diagnosis despite negative biopsies.
