Abstract

A 55-year old woman was seen at the outpatient Dermatology department with orange-red, soft-elastic, asymptomatic papules on her abdomen since five years. A biopsy was positive for Congo-red staining and showed apple-green under bipolarized light. Laboratory work-up showed no systematic amyloidosis. We diagnosed it as primary nodular cutaneous amyloidosis.
