Epidermal origin of the amyloid in localized cutaneous amyloidosis
The British Journal of Dermatology
|March 1, 1982
Abstract:
A case of localized cutaneous amyloidosis which developed after a lichen planus-like skin reaction is reported. The amyloid consisted of amyloid fibrils enveloped by heparan sulphate granules. These amyloid fibrils reacted to anti-human keratin antibody, indicating an epidermal origin for the fibrils.
