The incidence of insulin-induced amyloidosis distant from an injection site is unknown. Due to its rare nature, only a few case reports have been reported, with even fewer describing amyloidoma as distant from the insulin injection site. We present a case of a 52-year-old male with a left arm mass that was determined to be cutaneous amyloidosis and successfully treated with total excision of the mass. Histopathological examination with Congo red stain demonstrated classic characteristics of amyloidosis. We present this case report to increase awareness of this relatively rare occurrence.
胰岛素诱导的远离注射部位的淀粉样变性的发病率尚不清楚。由于其罕见性，仅有少数病例报告，描述远离胰岛素注射部位的淀粉样瘤的病例更少。我们报告一例52岁男性，其左臂有一肿块，经诊断为皮肤淀粉样变性，通过肿块全切成功治愈。刚果红染色的组织病理学检查显示了淀粉样变性的典型特征。我们呈现此病例报告以提高对这种相对罕见情况的认识。
