Description

Justin Lyon is first named author on a 2026 case article on immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis. That is a disease where faulty antibody fragments build up in tissues. In the patient described, matching purple hand nodules on both hands and an enlarged tongue prompted a skin biopsy. The biopsy revealed the amyloid deposits. It led to a diagnosis of multiple myeloma, a blood cancer.

The authors stress that early recognition of typical and unusual skin signs of amyloidosis is essential. That way clinicians start prompt blood workup and treatment, improving outcomes and survival.
