Secondary amyloidosis with concomitant gastric GIST and gastric adenocarcinoma - A case report by Ankita Soni, Nishant Batta, Shefali Mehmi, Vikram Narang, Bhavna Garg, Harpreet Kaur

“…Gastric ulcer was confirmed as adenocarcinoma, gastric extra-luminal mass was confirmed as GIST, and splenic examination revealed widespread deposition of amyloid which on Congo-red stain imparted an apple-green birefringence on polarizing microscopy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first-ever case of such an association where gastric adenocarcinoma occurred with concomitant gastric GIST and secondary amyloidosis of the spleen.…”
