Intestinal amyloidosis is a rare entity. A 78-year-old male patient presented to the emergency department with complaints of abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and inability to pass gas/stool for five days. The patient had a history of weight loss and had attended hospital on multiple occasions for ileus. Ileus in the bowel and mass in the sigmoid colon were detected on computed tomography. Anterior resection and end colostomy were performed. Pathological examination revealed amyloid involvement in the sigmoid colon. Intestinal amyloidosis should be considered in patients with long-term and recurrent symptoms. Surgical treatment should be performed in complicated patients.
