AL-amyloidosis in monoclonal gammopathies.

Sixty-two patients affected by MGUS underwent fat tissue aspirate examination for diagnosis of AL amyloidosis. Nine out of the 62 were found to be Congo red positive. MGUS had already been diagnosed for quite a long time in about 60% of these patients, while this prevalence decreased to 24% among the Congo red negative patients. The follow-up of the positive patients is reported.
