Primary (AL) amyloidosis of the gastrointestinal tract is relatively rare, and symptomatic amyloidosis of the stomach is even more seldom. We present the case of a patient who was referred to upper endoscopy because of weight loss, nausea, and vomiting. Large areas of intramucosal hemorrhages were seen, and biopsies resulted in profuse bleeding stopped with endoscopic clips. The biopsies showed amyloid depositions and further workup revealed that the patient also had cardiac and neuropathic involvements. The patient started treatment with dexamethasone, melphalan and bortezomib. After treatment was started the nausea and epigastric discomfort improved, and a reduction in the biochemical markers troponin T, NT-proBNP, and M-component was observed. Gastric amyloidosis is rarely seen at upper endoscopy in patients without a previously established diagnosis, but the unusual endoscopic findings and bleeding tendency after biopsy should be kept in mind by gastroenterologists.

Background: Gastrointestinal tract endoscopy along with biopsy is an established procedure for investigating a wide range of gastrointestinal conditions especially inflammatory and malignant diseases. The aim was to study and categorizing the morphological lesions of non-malignant origin at various sites of gastrointestinal tract and to compare with its endoscopic findings.Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on 280 benign GI biopsies received in the Department of Pathology of Sri Guru Ram Das Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Amritsar, Punjab, India.Results: Maximum cases (39%) were observed in the age group of 41-60 years. Male patients outnumbered the females (male to female ratio was 1.4:1). There were total 33 esophageal biopsies amongst which the most common lesion was non-specific esophagitis with least common being Barrett’s esophagus. Correlating the results of endoscopic and histopathological features of acute and chronic gastritis a positive predictive value of 80% with sensitivity of 44.4% was seen. Total 83 duodenal biopsies were analyzed with non-specific duodenitis being the most commonly diagnosed lesion followed by celiac disease. Correlation of endoscopic and histopathological findings in celiac disease revealed a sensitivity of 50% and positive predictive value of 42.86%. In both sigmoid colon and rectum, non-specific colitis was the commonest diagnosis followed by ulcerative colitis. Endoscopic findings were correlated with the histopathological features in ulcerative colitis, revealing a sensitivity of 57.14% along with the positive predictive value of 80%.  Conclusion: Histopathology remains the gold standard for diagnosing a case along with endoscopic findings and endoscopic findings alone cannot make the final diagnosis.

Introduction: The gut mucosa in portal hypertension is the seat of microcirculatory changes that compromise its integrity and increase its susceptibility to damage. The mucosal changes in portal hypertension may require pharmacological, directed endoscopic or portal decompressive therapy. The objective of the study is to find out various upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopic findings in patients of portal hypertension.Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional, observational study of sixty patients of portal hypertension was conducted from June to October 2009. The esophagus, stomach and upper duodenum was visualized for any changes, especially by taking the tip of the instrument close to the mucosa.Results: Out of total, 60, 47 (78.3%) cases were cirrhotic and 13 (21.7%) cases were non-cirrhotic portal hypertension. The most frequent upper GI endoscopic finding was esophageal varices 56 (98.3%) followed by gastropathy 49 (81.6%), gastric hyperemia 19 (31.6%), duodenal hyperemia and erosive gastritis 16 (26.6% in each) and gastric varices 12 (20%). Esophageal varices were equally prevalent among cirrhotic and non cirrhotic portal hypertensive patients, 46 out of 47 (97.9%) and 13 out of 13 (100%) respectively. Gastropathy was more prevalent in cirrhotic patients with 87.2% vs. 75% in NCPF followed by 40% in EHO. However, duodenal ulcers were seen only in EHO 12.5%. Erosive gastritis was more prevalent in EHO (75%) followed by NCPF (60%), however, it was less frequent in cirrhotic portal hypertension (14.8%).Conclusions: The most common upper GI endoscopic finding in portal hypertensive patients were found to be esophageal varices followed by gastropathy, peptic ulcer disease (gastric and duodenal hyperemia, chronic gastritis, erosive gastritis, gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer)._______________________________________________________________________________________Keywords: gastrointestinal tract; portal hypertension; varices.
