Abstract Text This video demonstrates the endoscopic findings of small bowel amyloidosis, which are variable and include: erosions, ulcers, erythema, mucosal edema, purplish discoloration, lymphangiectasias, white lesions, nodularity and pseudotumors. The most efficient method for diagnosis is histology with enteroscopy and histology, also utilizing Congo red stain. Because there are other diseases leading to small bowel ulcers a high index of suspicion is mandatory, otherwise the diagnosis will be missed or delayed.
