Core Tip A 48-year-old woman was admitted with moderate abdominal discomfort for two years and decreased hemoglobin and ferritin levels. Transoral and transanal enteroscopy showed multiple nodular protuberances in the digestive tract. Endoscopic ul­trasonography indicated the nodular protuberances stemmed from the submucosa and partially invaded the intrinsic myometrium. Pathological examinations showed the nodules were positive for special Congo red dyeing. It is concluded that the patient represen­ts a case of primary gastrointestinal amyloidosis with multiple nodular protuberances in the digestive tract with controllable symptoms and a benign course during three-year follow-up. Enteroscopy and endoscopic ul­trasonography play an important role in the diagnosis.
