Proximal tubules are a target for paraproteinemic diseases. Cast nephropathy, light chain deposition diseases, and amyloidosis are frequently encountered in patients with multiple myeloma. Rarely, a subset of patients develop light chain Fanconi syndrome (LCFS). LCFS has been reported with multiple myeloma, monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance (MGRS), chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. No cases have been described with other hematologic malignancies. We report the first case of lambda LCFS in a patient with both acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS).
