Abstract:
We report a case of localized cutaneous amyloidosis in a 42-year-old Japanese woman. Skin lesions were confined to the nuchal area, and the clinical appearance resembled that of lichen simplex chronicus. Our experience with this case indicates that, in cases presenting with persistent skin lesions simulating lichen simplex chronicus, amyloid should be specifically looked for in biopsy material.
