abstract: We report a case of light chain deposition disease associated with multiple myeloma revealed by congestive heart failure. Endomyocardial biopsy showed Congo red negative deposits and lambda light chain deposits by the immunofluorescence method. After chemotherapy with melphalan and prednisone, complete remission of multiple myeloma and major improvement in cardiac condition were observed.
