ePub Amyloidosis is characterized by the abnormal deposition of extracellular amyloid fibrils. Cases involving amyloid light-chain amyloidosis in the small intestine have been reported infrequently in Korea. Here, we report a case of localized light chain protein amyloidosis in the small intestine. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy, push enteroscopy, and capsule endoscopy revealed submucosal tumor-like lesions, multiple shallow ulcers, and several erosions in the distal duodenum and jejunum. An endoscopic biopsy established the diagnosis of amyloidosis. In through an immunohistochemical analysis, the presence of lambda light chain protein was detected. The patient had no evidence of an underlying clonal plasma cell disorder or additional organ involvement. Therefore, we concluded that the patient had localized amyloidosis of the small intestine.

Abstract
PDF
- Colonoscopy is used increasingly because the indication for therapeutic colonoscopy has been increased and the technique has been developed continuously as well as colonosopy is useful for diagnosis of colonic disease. Therefore, It is important understanding precisely about the complication of colonoscopy and managing the complication immediately and properly. In particular, colon perforation is the most fatal, emergency case and have needed surgical treatment, generally. Recently, the case treated with endoscopic clipping and conservative management has been reported. but until now, when perforated, wheather the endoscopic clipping or the surgical management at each other case is beneficial is not confirmed.

- Background/Aims
Laterally spreading tumors (LST) of the colon are defined as tumors over 10 mm in diameter that are low in height and grow superficially. These tumors are highly malignant and usually mucosal lesions, therefore endoscopic mucosal resection is desirable. We analysed retrospectively the result of endoscopic piecemeal mucosal resection (EPMR) in LSTs larger than 20 mm in diameter. Methods: 21 patients with LSTs larger than 20 mm in diameter were treated using EPMR. The resection sites were examined for residual or recurrent lesions by follow-up colonoscopy. Results: Of the 21 patients who underwent EPMR, 2 patients performed surgical resection and 4 patients were lost during follow-up period. Residual or recurrent lesions were detected in 5 of these 15 patients after EPMR. After additional endoscopic therapy, no more residual or recurrent lesions were detected. Conclusions: After EPMR for large LSTs, it is necessary to strictly follow-up at least within 1 year. (Intestinal Research 2003;2:186-191)
