| Core Tip |
Localized gastric amyloidosis is a very rare metabolic disease, we report a series of 3 cases of localized gastric amyloidosis mimicking gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma on endoscopic examination that were evaluated over the past ten years in our hospital. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy, endoscopic ultrasound, computed tomography and endoscopic submucosal dissection were performed in different patients, the histopathological examination resulted in the diagnosis of localized gastric amyloidosis. However, the different detection times of this rare disease in three patients resulted in three totally different outcomes, indicating that early detection, diagnosis and treatment of localized gastric amyloidosis result in an excellent prognosis. |
