abstract: In secondary amyloidosis (AA type), clinically significant cardiac and gastrointestinal involvement are uncommon, in contrast to the primary type. We report a case presenting with chronic diarrhea and cardiac manifestations who was diagnosed as having AA-amyloidosis with unknown predisposing illness based on endomyocardial, rectal and subcutaneous fat tissue biopsies.
