Rippled hyperpigmentation resembling macular amyloidosis--a feature of atopic eczema

B R Hughes et al. Clin Exp Dermatol. 1990 Sep.

Abstract

We present a patient with long-standing refractory atopic eczema who developed a pattern of lichenification and hyperpigmentation resembling macular amyloidosis. Histology showed changes of chronic lichenification only. We suggest that this appearance is a feature of her eczema rather than amyloidosis.
