RESUMO
A amiloidose AL é uma doença que resulta da deposição tecidual de cadeias leves de imunoglobulinas, ocorrendo em 15% dos doentes com mielomamúltiplo. As manifestações mucocutâneas frequentemente antecedem o aparecimento de outros sintomas de gamapatia monoclonal, possibilitandoum diagnóstico mais precoce.Descrevemos o caso de um doente de 71 anos que recorreu à consulta por lesões cutâneas nas pálpebras, sulcos retroauriculares e dorso, cuja biópsiarevelou depósitos amilóides. A investigação subsequente identificou a existência de mieloma múltiplo (AU)

Mucocutaneouslesions are often the first manifestations, helping in earlier recognition of monoclonal gamapathy.A 71-year-old man who with cutaneous lesions on the eyelids, retroauricular folds and upper back, which proved to be due to amyloid deposition isreported. Further investigation revealed multiple myeloma (AU)
