Case Report

Amyloidosis is an infiltrative pathology with a quasi-systemic manifestation. It can be a transthyretin infiltration
(mutated or senile), a light chain AL infiltration that represents a therapeutic emergency or a type AA infiltration.
The diagnosis is sometimes less obvious but is increasingly refined with tools and algorithms within the reach of
practitioners. In some difficult cases, a myocardial biopsy is sometimes necessary. We report the case of one patient,
followed in our cardiology department, in whom the diagnosis of AL amyloidosis was made late. Sadly, she died a
few months later despite chemotherapy.
