A case of macroamylasemia in an 89-year-old female, associated with infectious decubitus is described. Serum amylase was very high, in spite of low level of urine amylase and normal value of serum lipase. The abnormal molecular size of amylase was detected by electrophoresis. Thin layer chromatography and immunofixation technique showed that the amylase binding molecule was immunoglobulin (IgGAκλ type). Both the pathogenesis and clinical significance of the association of these disorders in this patient are discussed
