Abstract
Abstract A 74-year-old male was admitted to the emergency department with cutaneous lesions on his face resembling ‘raccoon eyes’, neck, and shoulders. He had also been experiencing asthenia, anorexia, weight loss, and symmetric polyarthritis for several months. Laboratory tests showed elevated acute phase reactants. Initial suspicion of amyloidosis led to further investigations, including serum and urine protein electrophoresis and immunofixation, resulting in a diagnosis of primary amyloidosis associated with IgG multiple myeloma. The patient began conventional treatment for multiple myeloma. However, he died to another condition (bacterial pneumonia) two months later.
