2019年3月13日 · Lichen amyloidosis is the most common type of primary localized cutaneous amyloidoses (amyloid deposits are exclusively localized in the skin). The three main forms of primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis are lichen amyloidosis, macular amyloidosis, and nodular amyloidosis.

Primary cutaneous amyloidosis (PCA) encompasses a group of skin conditions characterised by deposition of amyloid protein, without internal organ involvement. It is subclassified into lichen amyloidosis, macular amyloidosis, and nodular amyloidosis.

The skin-limited lichen amyloidosis is not usually associated with any increase in mortality. Chronic friction is a common etiological cause of lichen amyloidosis and treatment is usually directed at relieving the associated pruritus.

2023年8月14日 · Lichen amyloidosis (LA) is a dermatologic condition caused by abnormal amyloid deposition. LA most commonly manifests as highly pruritic lichenoid papules on the anterior tibia bilaterally.

Lichen amyloidosis typically presents as multiple pruritic, firm, hyperpigmented, hyperkeratotic papules on the shins that later coalesce to give the appearance of a rippled pattern. 1,2 Over time, the papules can form thickened plaques that resist treatment. 1,2 The differential diagnosis includes lichen simplex chronicus (i.e., chronically exc...

2022年6月1日 · Amyloidosis that affects primarily the skin is known as primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis (PLCA). This article will explain how amyloidosis can affect the skin, why it occurs, and what people with the condition can do to treat it.

Lichen amyloidosis is the most common variant of primary cutaneous amyloidosis (PCA) and is associated with the extracellular deposition of amyloid in the skin without associated internal organ involvement. 1 The amyloid deposits in PCA are keratinocyte-derived, primarily composed of keratinocyte 5. Most cases of PCA have been described in ...

Lichen amyloidosis is characterized by severely itchy patches of thickened skin with multiple small bumps. The patches are scaly and reddish brown in color. These patches usually occur on the shins but can also occur on the forearms, other parts of the legs, and elsewhere on the body.

2024年2月1日 · Lichen amyloidosis is a rare skin condition characterized by itchy patches with multiple small bumps. It is mainly induced by scratching and scrubbing and is the most common subtype of primary cutaneous amyloidosis.

2021年11月21日 · In PLCA there is deposition of amyloid in skin, with no systemic involvement. PLCA is divided into three main groups - papular (lichen) amyloidosis, macular amyloidosis and nodular amyloidosis. Macular and papular amyloidosis may coexist, and is referred to as mixed (biphasic, allotropic) PLCA.

A chronic condition marked by the presence of itchy, reddish-brown, scaly, raised bumps on the skin. Over time, the bumps can form thick, hard patches on the skin. They usually occur on the shins but can also occur on the thighs, feet, neck, back, and lower part of the arm.

Clinically, it is subclassified into 3 general categories: lichen (papular); macular (the most common type); and nodular amyloid (the rarest). 4 Rare variants include the poikiloderma-like, bullous and vitiliginous types, while anosacral forms have also been reported.

Cutaneous amyloidosis is a rare skin condition caused by the abnormal buildup of amyloid proteins in the skin. While not life-threatening, it can significantly impact a patient’s quality of life due to persistent itching and noticeable skin discoloration.

Amyloid cannot be detected in clinically healthy skin of patients with lichen amyloidosis. Small-fiber neuropathy (SFN) has been found in patients with lichen amyloidosis and pruritus....

Lichen amyloidosis is a rare chronic form of cutaneous amyloidosis, a skin disease characterized by the accumulation of amyloid deposits in the dermis, clinically characterized by the development of pruritic, often pigmented, hyperkeratotic papules on trunk and extremities, especially on the shins, and histologically by the deposition of ...

Although lichen amyloidosis is primarily confined to the skin, it can occasionally result in painful lesions. However, skin-limited lichen amyloidosis typically does not affect overall mortality. Treatment Options. The management of lichen amyloidosis is focused on relieving pruritus and improving the appearance of the affected skin.
