Abstract
Two cases of skeletal amyloidosis are described. In one the disease existed for many years, progressively destroying several vertebral bodies. There was no evidence of chronic infection, myelomatosis or cancer. In the other case myelomatosis was the primary disease but the first manifestation was a cystic tumour of the humerus. Not until several years later did typical bone lesions and Bence-Jones protein reveal the true nature of the disease.
