summary/abstract:Immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis is the most common type of systemic amyloidosis. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) is an effective treatment option for AL however due to multi-organ involvement in this disease HCT is feasible in a minority of patients.

In this review we discuss evolution of HCT and its typical application to a case of AL amyloidosis.
