摘要
Background: Systemic amyloidosis is characterized by the steady buildup of highly structured fibrils made of autologous proteins in the organs that are affected. Our patient was often told she had Crohn's disease because she had stomach pain, diarrhea, weight loss, anemia and tiredness, but the treatment didn't work. As a result, numerous investigations and laboratory tests were performed, including gastroscopy and colonoscopy. Conclusions: Systemic intestinal amyloidosis can be misdiagnosed for Crohn's disease. When a similar clinical circumstance occurs, we hope that our report will remind our colleagues to be on the lookout for underlying disorders so that a quick diagnosis and successful treatment can be provided.
