Abstract
We describe the case of a 70-year-old woman who presented with slowly progressive vision deterioration in both eyes and an increase in glare sensitivity. A slit-lamp examination showed stromal corneal deposits that were atypical for a dystrophy. Protein electrophoresis with immunofixation and bone marrow aspiration led to the diagnosis of an IgG-kappa myeloma. Chemotherapy relieved systemic disease and improved the patient's visual symptoms.Entities:
