MACULAR AMYLOIDOSIS: ATYPICAL LOCATION IN MEN
AMYLOIDOSIS IS CHARACTERIZED BY THE DEPOSIT OF A MODIFIED PROTEIN. IT CAN AFFECT VARIOUS ORGANS, INCLUDING THE SKIN, WHEN DEPOSITED ON THE PAPILLARY DERMIS. MACULAR AMYLOIDOSIS IS THE MAIN FORM OF PRIMARY CUTANEOUS AMYLOIDOSIS, CHARACTERIZED BY HYPERCHROMIC MACLES PREDOMINANTLY IN THE INTERSCAPULAR REGION. THIS REPORT IS OF A 53-YEAR-OLD MAN, FOR 4 YEARS WITH A HYPERCHROMIC, LICHENIFIED AND PRURIGINAL SPOT ON THE POSTERIOR REGION OF THE LEFT UPPER LIMB, KNEE AND BACK OF THE LEFT HAND. NO ASSOCIATED SYSTEMIC CHANGES. SKIN BIOPSY, IN HISTOPATHOLOGICAL STUDY, SHOWED SMALL FOCAL DEPOSITS OF AMORPHOUS EOSINOPHIL MATERIAL IN DERMAL PAPILLA AND POSITIVE FOR CONGO RED COLOR. THE PRESENT WORK AIMS TO REPORT CUTANEOUS AMYLOIDOSIS IN AN ATYPICAL LOCATION.
