We report a patient who presented with clinical symptoms suggesting giant cell arteritis. A diagnosis of AL amyloidosis was made on temporal artery biopsy. Temporal artery involvement is unusual in AL amyloidosis, but its frequency may be underestimated. Another uncommon finding was the presence of an IgD monoclonal gammopathy without diagnostic features of multiple myeloma.
