Abstract:
We report herein two cases of localized curaneous amyloidosis (LCA) associated with neurodermatitis. Both patients suffered from persistent pruritus during several years and had small brown discrete lichenoid papules or neurodermatitis like lesion. Biopsy specimen taken from lichehoid papules revealed amyloid deposition in the papillary dermis. In histologic examination of the neurodermatitis like lesion, hematoxylin eosin stain revealed only chronic eczematous changes but special stain and election microscopic examination revealed amyloid deposition in the papillary dermis. Although neurodermatitis and LCA may be able to develop concomitantly in one patient, it was suggested that neurodermatitis may transfrom into LCA.
