ABSTRACT
The primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis (PLCA) is classified into three types macular amyloidosis, lichen amyloidosis, and nodular amyloidosis. Macular amyloidosis is characterized by pruritic, hyperpigmented macules and is most commonly located on the interscapular area. Skin lesion usually shows pigmentation with a reticulated or rippled pattern. We report an unusual case of linear macular amyloidosis along the lines of Blaschko. A 74-year-old male is presented with asymptomatic unilateral linear hyperpigmented macules on his right leg for 20 years. Skin biopsy has revealed eosinophilic cytokeratin-positive globular deposits occupying the dermal papillae.
