Abstract

Amyloidosis encompasses a group of disorders involving extracellu2lar deposition of an abnormally folded protein. Light chain amyloidosis is a common type of systemic amyloidosis and is typically associated with an underlying plasma cell neoplasm. Here we describe an uncom2mon presentation of light chain amyloidosis.
