Abstract
Amyloid masses of the gastrointestinal tract are very rare. A previously undescribed finding of multiple gastric polyps due to systemic amyloidosis is outlined in a patient with familial amyloid polyneuropathy. The relevant literature pertaining to gastric amyloidosis and mucosal masses is reviewed. Amyloidosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of target lesions in the stomach.Entities:
