• A 71-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for two weeks due to edema in both legs. A bone marrow aspiration test confirmed a diagnosis of multiple myeloma. The result of the patient's renal biopsy showed fibrillary glomerulonephritis (FGN). FGN is a rare form of glomerulopathy that is diagnosed using electron microscopy when deposits of amyloid-like fibrils are observed on the mesangium and microvascular wall. These fibrils do not respond to Congo red staining and are generally 12-30 nm in diameter. This is a report of an unusual case of fibrillary glomerulonephritis in a patient with multiple myeloma.
