We report the case of a 37-year-old woman who presented with progressive renal dysfunction and proteinuria, in whom renal biopsy confirmed a diagnosis of
AA amyloidosis
. No evidence of chronic suppurative infection, connective tissue disease or malignancy was found. A past history of
Langerhans cell histiocytosis
(
LCH
) diagnosed in childhood was noted for which the patient had been successfully treated with surgical excision, corticosteroids, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Renal disease in
LCH
is not widely recognized and thus we describe a patient with
LCH
in whom
AA amyloidosis
developed in the absence of any other established cause.
