Abstract
The term "amyloidosis" relates to a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by extracellular deposition of a proteinaceous fibrillaı material in various tissues and organs. There are two types of cutaneous amyloidosis: primary and secondary. Primary cutaneous amyloidosis consist of macular, papular and nodular forms. There are very rare forms of cutaneous amyloidosis: poikiloderma-like, biphasic, bullous and dyschromic. The pathogenesis of cutaneous amyloidosis is not known and its treatment is difficult. Although cutaneous amyloidosis is a rare disorder, its clinical manifestations should be known by ali clinicians to avoid diagnostic failures.
