Primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis (PLCA) occurs when amyloid is deposited only within the skin and there is no evidence of systemic involvement. Nodular amyloidosis is the rarest subtype of PLCA. It typically involves the acral regions but can sometimes present on the head and neck. The condition usually presents clinically as a single tan or yellow nodule or plaque that may appear waxy. Herein, we present a rare case of a 66-year-old man with nodular amyloidosis on the lower back.

Multifaceted pulmonary manifestations of amyloidosis: state-of-the-art update.
Expert Rev Respir Med
January 2025
Division of Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA.
Introduction: Amyloidosis, a polymeric deposition disease classified according to protein subtype, may have varied pulmonary manifestations. Its anatomic-radiologic phenotypes include nodular, cystic, alveolar-septal, and tracheobronchial forms. Clinical presentation may range from asymptomatic parenchymal nodules to respiratory failure from diffuse parenchymal infiltration or diaphragmatic deposition.

Materials And Methods: Medical records were searched for dogs with histologically and immunohistochemically characterised nodular splenic lesions with mixed stromal, histiocytic and lymphoid cells and the presence of systemic inflammatory markers at the time of diagnosis.
Results: Four dogs were included, of which three had an undifferentiated splenic stromal sarcoma and one had a splenic leiomyosarcoma.

Article Synopsis
- Amyloidosis derived from apolipoprotein C-II (AApoCII) is a rare condition that primarily affects the kidneys, presenting with symptoms like proteinuria and reduced kidney function, particularly in older patients.
- A study conducted with 25 cases from the Mayo Clinic revealed common histological characteristics, such as nodular amyloid deposits in glomeruli, and proteomic analysis identified specific Apo C-II variants in many patients.
- Despite significant kidney issues, including end-stage kidney disease in about half of the patients, the overall survival rate was more favorable, indicating potential for better outcomes in this condition.
