Primary Cutaneous Amyloidosis
📋Overview
Primary Cutaneous Amyloidosis represents a chronic condition where amyloid proteins accumulate specifically in the skin layers. This localized process remains confined to the cutaneous tissue and does not involve systemic organ systems, distinguishing it from other forms of amyloidosis.
The condition typically manifests in several clinical variants, most commonly presenting as macular or lichen amyloidosis. These variants often result in persistent skin changes and localized itching, reflecting the underlying protein deposition within the affected areas.
