Since the advent of echocardiography, embolus in transit, historically found during surgical exploration or on postmortem examination, has been found with increasing frequency on antemortem examination. There is an inherent high mortality rate with this condition and awareness of the association between deep venous thrombosis and embolus in transit is paramount. On echocardiography the embolus is typically seen as a pleomorphic mass moving in a tumbling fashion. The most frequent symptoms are dyspnea and near syncopal episodes. The most common signs are diastolic "tumor plop" and a systolic ejection murmur heard on auscultation. Despite the success of some medical interventions, surgery should be strongly considered in patients with embolus in transit.

On the basis of a complicated case of primary amyloidosis observed at our medical division, the clinical criteria and the biochemical and physiological supports correlated to this disease are discussed. In particular, it has been tried to make a distinction between primary and secondary amyloidosis. In this study, the clinical case of a 67-year-old man with a history of monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance, dizziness and syncopal episodes personally observed for a deep venous thrombosis of the inferior right limb is described. Of particular interest is the discovery of unusual resistance to anticoagulant treatment.
