Abstract
We evaluate the rare case of a patient who presented with generalized, non-pruritic lichen amyloidosis. There are three reported cases of generalized and non-pruritic lichen amyloidosis. The lichen amyloidosis subtype of primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis is characterized by keratinocyte-derived amyloid deposition in the papillary dermis, classically presenting as pruritic, hyperpigmented macules coalescing into plaques on the lower extremities. While the pathogenesis is likely multifactorial, chronic scratching has been proposed as an inciting factor. The patient's type of lichen amyloidosis challenges the proposed etiology of chronic scratching leading to amyloid deposition.
