Amyloid is available online at: http://informahealthcare.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/13506120903151825, A male patient with primary AL amyloidosis who had been suffering from systemic lymphadenopathy with IgM kappa-type M-proteinemia received two courses of VAD and high-dose melphalan with in vivo elimination of CD20(+) cells using rituximab followed by autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. Four years after complete hematological remission he showed marked reduction in size of the amyloid-laden lymph nodes. Deposits of AL amyloid may regress from the tissue if the chemotherapy succeeds in persistent inhibition of the production of amyloidogenic immunoglobulin light chains., Article, AMYLOID. 16(3):183-185 (2009)}, pages = {183--185}, title = {Marked shrinkage of amyloid lymphadenopathy after an intensive chemotherapy in a patient with IgM-associated AL amyloidosis}, volume = {16}, year = {2009} }
