Abstract:
Localized primary cuteneous nodular amyloidosis is the rarest form of the cutaneous amyloidosis, which appears as single or multiple nodules on the extremities, trunk, genitalia or face. A 44-Year-old woman had asymptomatic, translucent brown to pink papules and nodules on the toes for 5 years. Histopathologic exarnination showed deposition to pale, eosinophilic, amorphous material throughout the dermis, Under the electron microscope, the material consisted of straight, nonbranching, nonanastoimosing filaments. We thus made the diagnosis of nodular amyoidosis.
