title: [Fatal subileus caused by intestinal amyloidosis in light chain plasmacytoma].
abstract: This report concerns a patient with systemic amyloidosis due to a plasmocytoma, in whom massive amyloid depositions in the small bowel caused severe diarrhoea and malabsorption. The excessive amyloid depositions in the lamina muscularis propria of the bowel finally resulted in therapy-resistant motility disturbance and adynamic subileus with fatal outcome.
