Abstract:
We present an unusual case of light chain myeloma complicated by systemic amyloidosis. There was massive infiltration of the left iliopsoas and quadratus femoris muscles with amyloid, manifesting itself clinically as a progressive, painless limp. We point out that accurate diagnosis by muscle biopsy in such cases has important prognostic implications and may avoid the unnecessary use of potentially toxic and ineffective treatment.
