Mesenteric phlebosclerosis (MP) is a rare disease of the colon. The clinical manifestations of this disease are nonspecific and it may easily be misdiagnosed. We report a case of MP with amyloidosis in the colonic vessel walls in a patient with hypertension who had been consuming Chinese medicinal liquor for 10 years. We also review the relevant literature and summarize the characteristics of MP in patients in mainland China.
