Primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis (PLCA) occurs when amyloid is deposited only within the skin and there is no evidence of systemic involvement. Nodular amyloidosis is the rarest subtype of PLCA. It typically involves the acral regions but can sometimes present on the head and neck. The condition usually presents clinically as a single tan or yellow nodule or plaque that may appear waxy. Herein, we present a rare case of a 66-year-old man with nodular amyloidosis on the lower back.
原发性局限性皮肤淀粉样变(PLCA)是指淀粉样蛋白仅沉积于皮肤内且无全身受累证据的情况。结节性淀粉样变是PLCA最罕见的亚型。它通常累及肢端部位,但有时也可出现在头颈部。该疾病临床上通常表现为单个棕褐色或黄色结节或斑块,可能呈蜡样外观。在此,我们报告一例66岁男性下背部结节性淀粉样变的罕见病例。
