The incidence of insulin-induced amyloidosis distant from an injection site is unknown. Due to its rare nature, only a few case reports have been reported, with even fewer describing amyloidoma as distant from the insulin injection site. We present a case of a 52-year-old male with a left arm mass that was determined to be cutaneous amyloidosis and successfully treated with total excision of the mass. Histopathological examination with Congo red stain demonstrated classic characteristics of amyloidosis. We present this case report to increase awareness of this relatively rare occurrence.
