Amyloidosis is a rare disease that is characterized by abnormal deposition of amyloid proteins in tissues, resulting in local, or systemic disease. When localized, it can present as an amyloidoma. We report a case of mesenteric amyloidosis in an 80-year-old male who was found to have an incidental mesenteric mass that was biopsy-proven to represent non-light chain amyloid tissue.
