BACKGROUND Renal Fanconi syndrome (FS) is a rare complication of monoclonal gammopathy. It is characterized by the impairment of renal proximal tubular function leading to normoglycemic glycosuria, aminoaciduria, hypophosphatemia, hypouricemia and proximal renal tubular acidosis. Renal impairment in monoclonal gammopathy, without fulfilling the criteria of multiple myeloma, is categorized as monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance (MGRS). METHODS A 54-year-old male presented with progressively aggravated bone pain and limitation of activity was admitted to our department. A proximal renal tubular damage was suggested by hypophosphatemia, compensated metabolic acidosis, renal glycosuria, aminoaciduria, and hypouricemia. M-protein of IgA kappa was detected by immunofixation electrophoresis. Mildly increased plasma cells were found in bone marrow cytomorphologic examination. Renal biopsy revealed diffuse linear monoclonal IgA-kappa light chain deposits along tubular basement membranes (TBMs), while lambda was negative. Electron microscopy showed granular electron-dense deposits along the outer aspect of TBMs. METHODS The patient was diagnosed as FS induced osteomalacia secondary to monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance (MGRS) (IgA-κ type) and LCDD. METHODS He was treated with bortezomib, supplementation by phosphate, alkali agents, and active vitamin D. He responded well to the treatment symptomatically. RESULTS We reported a rare case of adult acquired FS with hypophosphatemic osteomalacia secondary to LCDD associated with MGRS and the patient was successfully treated with bortezomib. CONCLUSIONS Although few cases of LCDD with isolated symptoms of tubulointerstitial nephropathy, rather than glomerular symptoms have been reported. It still needs to be recognized as a differential diagnosis in monoclonal gammopathy.

D005198 Fanconi Syndrome A hereditary or acquired form of generalized dysfunction of the PROXIMAL KIDNEY TUBULE without primary involvement of the KIDNEY GLOMERULUS. It is usually characterized by the tubular wasting of nutrients and salts (GLUCOSE; AMINO ACIDS; PHOSPHATES; and BICARBONATES) resulting in HYPOKALEMIA; ACIDOSIS; HYPERCALCIURIA; and PROTEINURIA.
