We report a case of papular cutaneous amyloidosis associated with multiple myeloma in a 52 years old man who presented papular xanthoma like lesions in periorbital areas and scrotum with severe bone pain in thoracic and lumbar spinal column and lower limbs. Cutaneous histopathology revealed the presence of amorphous deposits in papillary dermis surrounded with small lymphoid infiltrates with erythrocyte containing slots. Congo red staining was positive and bone marrow aspiration showed dysplastic plasma cells. Lytic lesions were observed in long bones and skull radiography. 24 hours Proteinuria was 3.69 g / l. A combination of Melphalan and prednisone as treatment could restore renal function without any change in skin lesions after 14 months.
