چکیده
This study was performed in real clinical practice settings. Our paper describes two case studies which show the difficulty of differential diagnosis monoclonal gammopathies, multiple myeloma associated with AL-amyloidosis and primary AL-amyloidosis.

AL-amyloidosis in monoclonal gammopathies.
Sixty-two patients affected by MGUS underwent fat tissue aspirate examination for diagnosis of AL amyloidosis. Nine out of the 62 were found to be Congo red positive. MGUS had already been diagnosed for quite a long time in about 60% of these patients, while this prevalence decreased to 24% among the Congo red negative patients. The follow-up of the positive patients is reported.
متن کاملMonoclonal Gammopathies Molecular therapy for multiple myeloma
Evidence and Information Sources. Identification of novel, MM-specific molecular targets should pave the way for drugs that can specifically attack the neoplastic cells while sparing the normal ones. Drugs that alter the marrow microenvironment – such as bisphosphonates, proteasome inhibitors (e.g. PS-341/LDP341), lactacystin or LLNV compounds – induce apoptosis or G1 growth arrest and alter th...

ISSN 0001-5555 Bullous amyloidosis is a rare cutaneous manifestation of systemic AL amyloidosis that may be associated with multiple myeloma or occult plasma cell dyscrasia (1–3); only approximately 30 cases have been reported until now (4, 5), although its incidence may be higher than is gener...
متن کاملImmunophenotyping in Multiple Myeloma and Others Monoclonal Gammopathies
Clonal plasma cell disorders (PCD) including mostly monoclonal gammopathy of undeter‐ mined significance (MGUS) and multiple myeloma (MM) are characterised by expansion of abnormal (clonal) plasma cells (PCs) producing monoclonal protein (M-protein, MIG). Although multiparametric flow cytometry (MFC) allows identification and characterisation of these neoplastic PCs, this approach is used in ro...
متن کاملRapidly progressive glomerulonephritis complicating primary AL amyloidosis and multiple myeloma.
Crescentic glomerulonephritis is a rare complication of AA amyloidosis. There are no clinical case reports of this complicating AL amyloidosis. A 67-year-old man developed rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) on a background of primary AL amyloidosis and IgGkappa multiple myeloma. Investigations for causes of glomerulonephritis were negative, and a renal biopsy confirmed crescentic glo...
