title: [Fat intolerance, pressure in the right upper quadrant, hepatomegaly].
abstract: Intolerance of dietary fat, massive hepatomegaly and sensation of right upper Quadrant oppression were clinical symptoms of a bioptically verified rare hepatic amyloidosis. There was no other evidence for amyloid deposition in other organs. Hepatomegaly was slightly progressive over a period of 2 years, accompanied by slight edema of lower legs and ascites detected by sonography.
