RESUMEN
Abstract: Systemic light chain amiloydosis is a rare disease. Due to its typical cutaneous lesions, dermatologists play an essential role in its diagnosis. Clinical manifestations vary according to the affected organ and are often unspecific. Definitive diagnosis is achieved through biopsy. We report a patient with palpebral amyloidosis, typical bilateral ecchymoses and cardiac involvement, without plasma cell dyscrasia or lymphomas. The patient died shortly after the diagnosis.

Abstract A 59-year-old woman reported a 20-day history of slightly scaly erythematous infiltrated patches on her palms and soles with a histopathological result which was consistent with interstitial-pattern granuloma annulare, clinically classified as patch granuloma annulare. This is a rare clinical variant of granuloma annulare, with an unknown incidence and characteristic clinical and histopathological features. The patient evolved with a complete remission of the lesions after biopsy and the use of high-potency topical corticosteroid.
