Abstract

The case of a 41-year-old female patient with an unusual type of primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis is reported. Clinical examination revealed lesions typical for macular cutaneous amyloidosis, while histology and histochemistry, in contrast, revealed the presence of nodular amyloidosis of the skin with deposition of lambda light chain amyloid.
