RESUMO

The authors present an uncommon case of systemic amyloidosis associated with multiple myeloma in a 35-year old woman. Systemic amyloidosis commonly presents in association with clonal plasma cell proliferative disorders, and less frequently as secondary or of a hereditary origin. Amyloidosis is usually associated with multiple myeloma in older patients and frequently has an unfavourable prognosis.
