This procedure revealed the presence of a monoclonal proliferation of light chain containing plasma cells, and thus led to the diagnosis of immunoglobulin-related amyloidosis.}, issn = {0021-9746}, URL = {https://jcp.bmj.com/content/35/3/285}, eprint = {https://jcp.bmj.com/content/35/3/285.full.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Clinical Pathology} }
