Primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis refers to those with exclusively cutaneous amyloidosis, without involvement of internal organs. The most common forms within this group are macular amyloidosis and lichen amyloidosis.
The classic presentation of amyloidosis is usually hyperpigmented patches; however, recently there have been reports in the literature, in which there were hypopigmented macular lesions with amyloid deposition in the papillary
dermis level in the skin biopsy. For the dermatologist it is important to consider this form of amyloidosis in the differential diagnosis of patients with hypochromic and pruritic macules.
