Amyloidotic Tumor of the Duodenum
Abstract
During a 77-year-old woman's esophageal gastroduodenoscopy (EGDS), this duodenal polypoid lesion was discovered. A few years prior, our patient had been diagnosed with multiple myeloma; despite receiving several lines of treatment, the disease was still progressing, resulting in multiple vertebral localizations and renal failure.
