Masaya Iwamuro,Hiroyuki Sakae,Hiroyuki Okada
An asymptomatic 66-year-old Japanese man underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy for screening purposes. The patient had been undergoing hemodialysis for >30 years and had been diagnosed with dialysis-related amyloidosis of the tongue 8 years previously (FigureA). He had been taking lanthanum carbonate, an orally administered phosphate binder, for 5 years, in addition to taking rabeprazole, sarpogrelate, carvedilol, calcitriol, celecoxib, D-sorbitol, brotizolam, and warfarin. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed slightly granular, white mucosa in the gastric body (FigureB,C).
