title: Unusual manifestations of primary cutaneous amyloidosis in association with Raynaud's phenomenon and livedo reticularis.
abstract: A patient with unusual manifestations of primary cutaneous amyloidosis, including macules, papules, oedematous plaques and urticarial lesions is described. Raynaud's phenomenon and livedo reticularis were an associated finding. During the acute phase, single doses of systemic corticosteroids resulted in an impressive, long-lasting improvement in cutaneous manifestations.
