Neuropathy due to Amyloid in Myelomatosis

Abstract

In 1958 Victor, Banker, and Adams described five cases of peripheral neuropathy complicating myelomatosis. They wrote: “the idea that amyloidosis is responsible for myelomatous neuropathy though theoretically entertaining lacks pathological confirmation.” The following report is on an elderly man with myelomatosis and peripheral neuropathy in whom amyloid infiltration of the peripheral nerves was found. © 1971, British Medical Journal Publishing Group.
