    Notes: Summary A case of a patient presenting with supraclavicular and cervical lymph node enlargement with demonstration of amyloid is presented. Histologic features are described. Amyloid deposition was not found in any other organ. Immunohistochemical typing with antisera raised against protein AA, Aλ, and Aκ showed a reaction only against Aλ. Thus, this case belongs to the immunoglobulin λ light chain-derived types that occur in many other parts of the body, particularly the respiratory tract.

    Notes: Abstract We report a case in which an adult form of Niemann-Pick disease (type B of NPD) was associated with a rapidly progressive generalized AL amyloidosis of kappa type. Both diagnosis were made by biopsy, the NPD by bone marrow biopsy and fibroblast culture, the amyloidosis by liver biopsy. Malignant non-Hodgkin lymphoma was not found. The patient, a 67-year-old woman, died from hepatic coma subsequent to a progressive liver failure. We discuss possible relations between the lysosomal storage disease and the development and rapid progression of amyloidosis.

    Notes: Summary Peripheral polyneuropathy associated with recurrent diarrhoea and orthostatic hypotension was observed in two unrelated German kinships and two sporadic cases. Congo red staining and polarization microscopy of biopsy specimens revealed amyloid deposits. Immunohistochemical investigation using the indirect immunoperoxidase staining with antisera to several purified amyloid fibril proteins showed a positive reaction with an antiserum to the prealbumin-related AF-amyloid in the families and one of the sporadic cases and with an antiserum to the immunoglobulin light chain amyloid (Aλ) in the other sporadic case. Therefore, the amyloid of the families and one of the sporadic cases was identified as the prealbumin-related AF amyloid, while the amyloid of the other sporadic case was of immunoglobulin origin. It is concluded that immunohistochemistry with antisera to the different amyloid proteins is useful in the differential diagnosis of amyloid neuropathy.
