Abstract

We report a case history of a patient whose diagnosis of AL amyloidosis remained elusive until postmortem examination. Exhaustive autonomic neuropathy mimicking a chronic Guillain-Barré syndrome dominated the clinical picture. The problems in establishing the definitive diagnosis of AL amyloidosis even in the face of strong clinical evidence are discussed.
