In one of the two cases lichen amyloidosis of the auricular concha reported here, concomitant macular amyloidosis of the back was present. [dermatology-s10.cdlib.org]
Although most cases occur sporadically in people with no family history of the condition, there are rare familial forms caused by changes ( mutations ) in the OSMR or IL31RA gene. [3] [4] Treatment is based on the signs and symptoms present in each person [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
LCD type II (Meretoja syndrome) is a systemic disease presenting in young adulthood with cutaneous, nervous and corneal manifestations. Frequent recurrent erosions and impaired corneal sensation are often present by age 40 years. [healio.com]

Pathologist
Amyloid and Related Disorders, Second Edition will be invaluable to specialized and general pathologists as well as cytopathologists. Other medical professionals may also benefit from this concise update on the systemic amyloidoses. [books.google.com]
The term amyloid was reportedly coined by the famous 19th century pathologist Virchow who attributed its major constituent to carbohydrate accumulation [ 1 ]. [dermatology-s10.cdlib.org]

Typically, in both pedigrees, the onset of symptoms was around puberty, and pruritus usually began on the lower legs. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Skin Lesion
In primary systemic amyloidosis, skin lesions typically occur on the: A. Upper back B. Pretibial area C. Tongue D. Eyelids E. No skin lesion 2. In secondary systemic amyloidosis, skin lesions typically occur on the: A. Upper back B. [woundsresearch.com]
Three family members had the characteristic skin lesion and also carried the gene for MEN 2a; two additional members carried the gene for MEN 2a, but did not manifest the observable skin changes associated with lichen amyloidosis. [annals.org]

In lichen amyloidosis, PUVA has been reported to be effective in alleviating itch and flattening of skin lesions. [clinicaldermatology.eu]
The skin lesions were more pronounced on the lower legs (Figure 1A ), back and waist (Figure 1B, 1C ), and the larger hypopigmented lesions were seen mainly on the lower legs. [bmcdermatol.biomedcentral.com]

Lichenification
Abstract Familial primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis (FPLCA) is an autosomal dominant disorder associated with chronic itching and skin lichenification. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Tanaka's study [ 16 ] demonstrated that most changes of gene expression revealed alterations in epidermal differentiation and proliferation consistent with lichenification. [bmcdermatol.biomedcentral.com]
Wong reported the role of chronic friction in cutaneous amyloidosis. [1] Scratching has been known to produce traumatic and pressure changes such as excoriation, inflammation, pigmentation, and finally lichenification in the human skin. [idoj.in]

Follicular Plugging
In both patients punch biopsies from the conchal bowl yielded a pauci-inflammatory specimen with orthohyperkeratosis and acanthosis (Fig. 4), as well as prominent follicular plugging (Fig. 5). [dermatology-s10.cdlib.org]

A comprehensive review of the literature on the treatment options for PCA showed no controlled trials available. However, case series indicated phototherapy (UVB, narrow band UVB, photochemotherapy) as the most successful treatment. [clinicaldermatology.eu]
What is the treatment of systemic amyloidosis? Nonspecific treatment Treatment is directed at maintaining the function of affected organs. For example, kidney failure can be treated with dialysis and congestive heart failure with diuretics. [dermnetnz.org]
Prognosis
Nodular amyloidosis is extremely rare, and there are notable differences in clinical presentation, prognosis, histology, and pathogenesis between this entity and the macular and lichenoid variants. [actasdermo.org]

Topics covered include classification/epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical features (with classic images), diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. [dermatologyadvisor.com]
Prognosis depends upon the extent of involvement. Treatment of amyloidosis is aimed at reducing the supply of precursor proteins [ 1 ]. [odermatol.com]
Etiology

Lack of clear-cut etiological factors makes it difficult to suggest a reasonable therapeutic modality. [e-ijd.org]
However, the etiology of amyloidosis remains unclear and population-based studies would prove to be of great benefit in evaluating the exact etiology of amyloidosis. [idoj.in]
It is proposed that ApoE might play an important part in the etiology of amyloidosis by functioning as a chaperone to promote the formation of amyloid filaments. [cags.org.ae]
Whether there exists an association with regard to female sex hormones in the etiology of PCA still requires elaboration. [pigmentinternational.com]
