ABSTRACT
We report a 58-year-old woman with an unusual clinical presentation of macular amyloidosis who had erythematous depressed patches without rippled pattern. The lesion was localized involving only the face both lateral sides of the forehead. A skin biopsy revealed amyloid deposits on the papillay dermis. An immunofluorescence study demonstrated positivity for IgA in the amyloid deposits. The skin lesion of this patient could easily be confused with chronic cutaneous lupus erythematousus and the immunofluorescence finding suggests the possibility of specific immunoglobulin absorption of amyloid deposits.
