[Biclonal light chain gammopathy in multiple myeloma--a case report].
A 74-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital in March 1998 for low-back pain. In 1990, she had a chemotherapy for diffuse mixed cell lymphoma. Biochemical and serologic assays revealed a total protein level of 9.7 g/dl and an IgG level of 4,530 mg/dl. Immunoelectrophoresis showed monoclonal IgG protein associated with two monoclonal kappa and lambda light chain components. Bone marrow exami...
متن کاملPyoderma Gangrenosum and Multiple Myeloma: A case report

متن کاملImmunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis associated with multiple myeloma in a young patient: a case report.
The authors present an uncommon case of systemic amyloidosis associated with multiple myeloma in a 35-year old woman. Systemic amyloidosis commonly presents in association with clonal plasma cell proliferative disorders, and less frequently as secondary or of a hereditary origin. Amyloidosis is usually associated with multiple myeloma in older patients and frequently has an unfavourable prognosis.
متن کاملA Rare Presentation of Multiple Myeloma: A Case Report of Hepatic Amyloidosis
The clinically reported case of liver involvement with multiple myeloma (MM) is rare. Amyloidosis, defined as a tissue deposition of clonal light-chain fibrils, has been reported in 10-15% of the MM patients. We described a rare MM patient with the primal presentation of fulminant hepatic failure and biliary system involvement due to amyloidosis. Our patient had the primal symptoms of hyperbili...
متن کاملSerum Free Light-chain Assay for the Diagnosis, Management, and Prognosis of Multiple Myeloma
In recent decades, new serum biomarkers have been developed for routine laboratory practice, such as assaying serum free light chains and more recently, assaying immunoglobulin heavy and light chain isotypes (Hevylite). In this work, we highlight the interest of new biomarkers (Hevylite Test) in the management of monoclonal gammopathies because of the technical advantages it confers and the se...
