Lichen amyloidosis, a type of primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis, is characterized by pruritic brown or grayish pigmented papules.
We report a case of lichen amyloidosis in which the skin lesion consisted of asymptomatic salmon-pink-colored papules on the back of the neck to the upper back. This was different from typical clinical pictures of lichen amyloidosis. Our patient proved to have thyroid papillary carcinoma.
Our case may suggest that lichen amyloidosis could be a cutaneous manifestation of thyroid cancers.
苔藓样淀粉样变是一种原发性局限性皮肤淀粉样变,其特征为瘙痒性棕色或灰色色素沉着丘疹。
我们报告一例苔藓样淀粉样变病例,其皮肤损害表现为从颈部后方到上背部的无症状鲑鱼粉红色丘疹。这与苔藓样淀粉样变的典型临床表现不同。我们的患者被证实患有甲状腺乳头状癌。
我们的病例可能提示苔藓样淀粉样变可能是甲状腺癌的一种皮肤表现。
