Core Tip
Core tip: Mesenteric phlebosclerosis is a rare disease of the colon, characterized by calcification of the mesenteric vein and thickening of the right hemicolon wall, with fibrosis and hyalinization. Mesenteric phlebosclerosis is difficult to diagnose because its etiology and pathophysiology are unclear, and many patients are asymptomatic or present with atypical symptoms. Herein, we report a case of mesenteric phlebosclerosis with amyloidosis in the colonic vessel walls in a 64-year-old man with hypertension who had been consuming Chinese medicinal liquor for 10 years.
