Abstract

Amyloidosis cutis dyschromia is a very rare variant of primary cutaneous amyloidosis clinically characterized by hyper- and hypopigmented/depigmented macules in generalized distribution. Diagnosis is based on histopathological demonstration of amyloid deposits in papillary dermis and its confirmation by Congo red staining. We hereby report a case of amyloidosis cutis dyschromia.
