This is a case report of a 56-year-old man with plasma cell dyscrasia who presented with proximal tubulopathy manifested as kappa light-chain crystal deposition in the proximal convoluted tubular cells. This was associated with mild cellular damage. The crystals were seen as negative images with the hematoxylin-eosin and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) stains. They were identified as kappa light-chains by immunofluorescent imaging and confirmed by immunoelectron microscopy. Ultrastructurally, the crystals appear to be located within lysosomes. No deposits of light-chains were seen elsewhere in the kidney biopsy.
