Primary cutaneous localized amyloid elastosis.
Amyloid elastosis is a rare form of cutaneous amyloidosis characterized histologically by the deposition of amyloid-coating elastic fibers of the skin. To date, only 4 cases have been reported, all of them in the setting of systemic amyloidosis. We present the first case of primary cutaneous localized amyloid elastosis.
