A 51-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of right upper quadrant abdominal and back pain. Severe hepatomegaly (six fingerbreadths) was detected by liver palpation. Blood test results showed cholestatic liver disease. He was diagnosed with amyloidosis by liver biopsy. Bone marrow aspiration revealed 15% of contents to be plasma cells. BJPκ was detected by urine electrophoresis. Therefore, he was diagnosed with the BJPκ type of multiple myeloma with systemic amyloidosis. The patient was treated with bortezomib, dexamethasone and high-dose melphalan with autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. He achieved VGPR (very good partial response) after transplantation. Hepatomegaly improved but swelling persisted, and he was therefore treated with 1.3 mg/m(2)/day of bortezomib and 20 mg/day of dexamethasone on day 1 and day 15 in 28-day cycles. Upon finishing 22 cycles in June 2014, his liver had returned to normal size. Restoration of normal liver size after treatment is rare in cases with severe hepatomegaly due to systemic amyloidosis. We thus report our case with a review of the relevant literature.
