Radiologic Manifestation of Intra-Abdominal Involvement of Systemic Amyloidosis Secondary to Renal Cell Carcionma

Abstract

Amyloidosis has a wide spectrum of manifestations in numerous abdominal organs. It can be categorized into primary or secondary disease according to the presence of accompanying conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, tuberculosis, or neoplasms. Herein, we present a rare case of amyloidosis associated with renal cell carcinoma that showed nonspecific radiologic features such as diffuse bowel wall thickening, ascites and peritoneal thickening.
