title: [Polymorphism of light-chain deposition disease. Apropos of 3 cases].
abstract: Three cases of light chain deposition disease are reported. The condition was associated with monoclonal dysglobulinaemia in two cases and with amyloidosis in one case. This, and the different course of the disease in these three patients, illustrates the need for an early histological diagnosis, using immunofluorescence with monospecific anti-light chain sera.
