ABSTRACT

Transplante autólogo de células tronco é uma das formas de tratamento da amiloidose primária ou AL. Os autores relatam um paciente de 46 anos com hematomas periorbitais bilaterais, macroglossia, em quem, na investigação, se constatou a presença de paraproteínas IgG Kappa no soro. O diagnóstico de amiloidose primária ou AL foi confirmado, e o tratamento proposto com condicionamento com doses altas de Melfalan, seguido de transplante autólogo de células tronco, determinou a remissão completa da doença com desaparecimento de sinais clínicos e ausência do componente monoclonal.


Autologous stem cell transplant is one of the therapies employed in the treatment of primary amyloidosis or AL. The authors report on a 46-year-old patient with bilateral periorbital hematomas, macroglossia who presented, during the investigation, IgG-Kappa paraprotein in serum. The diagnosis of primary amyloidosis or AL was confirmed and the treatment proposed consisted of high-dose melphalan as conditioning regimen before autologous stem cell transplant, which determined complete remission of the disease, along with the disappearance of clinical signs and absence of the monoclonal component.
