Duodenal Amyloidotic Tumor

Abstract

This duodenal polypoid lesion was found during Esophago Gastro Duodenoscopy (EGDS) performed in a 77-year-old woman. Our patient had already been diagnosed with multiple myeloma a few years earlier; although treated with multiple lines of treatment, the disease was still in progression with multiple vertebral localizations and renal failure. She started complaining of asthenia and suffered from various episodes of melena over two weeks; the Emergency Room assessment found Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) and severe anemization (Hb 5.9 g/dl).
