Carpal Tunnel Syndrome As a Predictor of Isolated Systemic Primary AL Amyloidosis

The diagnosis of common carpal tunnel syndrome usually relies only on clinical grounds and electromyographic study. We present a 60-year-old woman who was diagnosed with systemic primary AL amyloidosis many years after the carpal tunnel syndrome had begun.
