Amyloidosis is part of a group of deposition diseases. Nodular amyloidosis is a rare form of primary cutaneous amyloidosis. It affects men and women, usually over the age of 60 years. Presenting manifestation of the disease are yellowish-erythematous or brownish nodules or plaques in single or multiple infiltrates. Systemic evaluation should be performed to rule out involvement of other organs. Follow-up of the patient is important because the condition may progress to systemic amyloidosis. We report a case of nodular amyloidosis in which the lesion had a corymbiform aspect without systemic involvement and no recurrence after two years of follow-up.
淀粉样变性是一组沉积性疾病的一部分。结节性淀粉样变性是原发性皮肤淀粉样变性的一种罕见形式。它可累及男性和女性，通常发病年龄在60岁以上。该病的表现为单个或多个浸润性的淡黄色红斑或褐色结节或斑块。应进行系统评估以排除其他器官受累情况。对患者进行随访很重要，因为病情可能进展为系统性淀粉样变性。我们报告一例结节性淀粉样变性病例，该病变呈伞房状外观，无全身受累，随访两年无复发。
