摘要：

Familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy is a systemic amyloidosis with a dismal prognosis for which a surgical treatment exists. Awareness of the clinical characteristics of the disease is critical for early genetic diagnosis and timely referral for liver transplantation. In this report we describe the history of a 49-year-old man in whom non-AA amyloidotic infiltration of the heart and the intestinal tract was diagnosed. Initially, inappropriate identification of the etiology of the disease led to maltreatment.
