Abstract
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed friable mucosa from the middle body to the lesser curvature of the stomach. Biopsy examination revealed AL-type amyloidosis. Systemic examinations were performed, but no other lesions were found and she was diagnosed with localized gastric amyloidosis. Localized amyloidosis usually has a good prognosis. However, since there have been reports of cases leading to surgery due to the progression of anemia, cases with malignant tumors, and cases of transition to systemic amyloidosis, it is important to perform periodic systemic searches for amyloid deposits when amyloidosis is proven by stomach biopsy.
