We describe a case where a woman with an IgG lambda monoclonal gammopathy had an undetectable serum free lambda light chain due to antigen excess. The patient had a three year history of multiple myeloma and initially presented with an elevated serum free lambda light chain. The serum free lambda light chain concentration increased over the course of several months to >4000 mg/L (reference interval 5.7-26.3 mg/L) and then suddenly dropped to
