Abstract
|
|
|
Secondary localized amyloidosis of the skin is occasionaly associated with keratoma, epithelioma, seborrheic keratosis, chronic dermatitis, etc.
It was generally known that amyloidosis, especially lichen amyloidosis, is frequently seen in atopic disorders. But the exact mechanism and relationship of atopic disorders to the development of the amyloidosis is obscure still nowadays.
This 72 years old male patient was suffered from itching sensation on the whole body-which is suggested to be atopic dermatitis since about 35 years ago and pruritic lichenoid papulonodular eruptions developed on the extensor surface of the lower extremity first since about 10 years ago and then occured gradually on the thigh and extensor surface of the arm and forearm in both side. The charateristic lesions seems to be lichen amyloidosis. But we suggest the case is secondary localized amyloidosis of the skin probably due to atopic dermatitis in according to past history, physical examination and eosinophilia without other definitive diseases.
The therapeutic results were not promissing, however itching and lichenoid papules were much disappeared during the treatment with steroid cream for occlusive dressing therapy and oral use of steroid.
