Abstract
The present report describes the clinical, radiological and immunocytochemical studies performed in a patient with IgAL-myelomatosis. This case was unusual in that the clinical picture was dominated by a malabsorption syndrome with protein losing enteropathy, apparently in the absence of amyloidosis. The literature dealing with similar cases is briefly reviewed. Moreover, although the coexistence of malabsorption and myelomatosis could not be ex- eluded, the possibility is discussed that the sprue-like intestinal disorders may have triggered the onsetof the myelomatous disease.
