Description
| - pontaneous hepatic bleeding is a rare but potentially life-threatening complica - tion of primary systemic amyloidosis . Although the liver is a common site of amyloid deposi - tion, clinical presentation is usually mild or absent . Case: We report a case of a female patient, who had been repeatedly surgically revised because of liver rupture and hemoperitoneum . Initially, the computed tomography finding was interpreted as liver hemangioma . However, based on liver biopsy, the diagnosis had to be changed to primary systemic amyloidosis, and the patient was referred to our hematooncology department . Due to a considerably ad - vanced disease, the patient was eligible only for palliative chemotherapy with cyclophospha - mide and dexamethasone, which could not deflect the course of rapidly progressing liver de - struction . Conclusion: The cause behind ruptured and bleeding liver does not always need to be hemangioma but rather amyloidosis . In cases of advanced disease and in patients with contraindications for aggressive treatment, the outlook for complete hematological and organ treatment response is very limited . An early diagnosis is of utmost importance . Although liver biopsy brings the definite results, screening for monoclonal protein in serum or urine, leading to a search for AL amyloidosis, may be sufficient for diagnosis . The presence of some of the warning signs (B-symptoms such as fevers or subfebrile temperatures, fatigue, weight loss; and paraneoplastic laboratory findings such as elevated C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate) should raise suspicion of a lymphoproliferative disease
