title: [Amyloidosis: rapid course of AL-amyloidosis in a patient without myelomatosis].
abstract: A case of severe AL-amyloidosis in a 72-year-old man is presented. Amyloid was especially deposited in the kidneys and the liver. The patient died one year after diagnosis with impaired kidney function and severe ascites. Despite the type of amyloid (AL-type), multiple myelomata or lymphoproliferative disease could not be demonstrated.
