| Abstract |
We report herein a case of intestinal amyloidosis with grave prognosis that caused intractable diarrhea and intestinal pseudo-obstruction, alternately in spite of intensive conservative treatment. A 44-year-old woman was admitted for fever, diarrhea, and crampy abdominal pain which had been continuned during 6 months. Abdomen CT scan showed edematous wall thickening of the small bowel and right colon, and colonoscopic biopsy revealed amyloid deposition in the mucosa. Monoclonal light chains in serum and/or urine were not detected and highly elevated serum amyloid A was shown. In spite of intensive treatment including oral prednisolone and colchicine, diarrhea and intestinal pseudo-obstruction developed alternately, general status rapidly got worsened and died after two months.
