Combination of Problem-Solving and Multi-Organ Ultrasound: A Case Report of AL Amyloidosis Associated with Cardiac, Renal, Peritoneal, Mesenteric and Gastrointestinal Involvement

Abstract

Introduction: Systemic amyloidosis AL is an unusual disease characterized by a heterogeneous presentation. Clinical Case: We present a case of systemic amyloidosis AL with unusual cardiac, mesenteric, renal, peritoneal, and gastrointestinal involvement, in which the diagnostic hypothesis was formulated on the basis of problem-solving and ultrasound technique (abdomen, lung, heart ultrasound). Conclusion: This case shows that multi-organ ultrasound, associated with problem-solving, may be very helpful in the diagnosis of systemic diseases, even unusual ones, avoiding a long diagnostic interval length.
