Dursun, MAyyildiz, OYilmaz, SBilici, A2024-04-242024-04-2420040379-5284https://hdl.handle.net/11468/20555A 65-year-old male patient presented with right upper-quadrant abdominal pain. Ultrasonography revealed hypoechoic lesion in the perihepatic and intraparenchymal area. Computed tomography (CT) showed hypodense lesion in the same localization. A fine needle biopsy specimen of the periliepatic lesion was hemorrhagic. On abdominal CT, the liver showed enhancement, but the spleen did not enhance. The spleen could not be detected by scintigraphic imaging using Tc(99)m sulfur dioxide. A diagnosis of primary amyloidosis was made by renal biopsy. Melphalan 10mg/day for 4 days/month was started. The clinical and radiological follow up demonstrated a resorption of the hematoma. The patient is still alive at the eighth month of therapy.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess[No Keyword]An unusual presentation of primary amyloidosisAn unusual presentation of primary amyloidosisArticle251014781481WOS:0002247907000342-s2.0-724425611015494827Q2Q4
