title: De novo light-chain deposition disease in a cadaver renal allograft.
abstract: The deposition of immunoglobulin (Ig) light chains after renal transplantation most commonly occurs as a manifestation of recurrent multiple myeloma or recurrent light chain nephropathy. We report the development of de novo light chain deposition disease (LCDD) in a cadaveric renal transplant recipient 16 years after transplantation with no evidence of prior multiple myeloma or LCDD and no current evidence of myeloma or lymphoproliferative malignancy.
