Abstract
- Lichen amyloidosis is a chronic intensely pruritic skin disorder characterized histologi-cally by the deposition of amyloid in the papillary dermis. Lichen amyloidosis has been reported in association with several pruritic skin disorders including atopic dermatitis, lichen planus, and mycosis fungoides. It is hypothesized that the scratching in pruritic skin diseases is the most important step in forming amyloid deposit. We report two cases of lichen amyloidosis occuring in two patients with atopic dermatitis.
