“…Two types of keratinic amyloidosis have traditionally been distinguished: macular amyloidosis 32,33,176 and lichen amyloidosus, 177 (the latter being the most common of the 2 forms). 178 In macular amyloidosis, the lesions are usually poorly delimited patches or papules, whereas in lichen amyloidosus, the lesions usually coalesce into plaques.…”

Concepts and semantics are crucial for good communication between clinicians and pathologists. Amyloidosis was described more than 150 years ago. Therefore, the terminology related to it is abundant, varied, and sometimes complex. In this report, we intend to discuss several terms related to the disease, with special emphasis on cutaneous amyloidosis. We present a review, from Virchow to present, of the concepts related to amyloidosis: its nature, the classification of cutaneous forms of the disease, and the techniques used in its diagnosis.

For the past 2 years, we have been treating a teenage girl for a disfiguring, extensive, inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus (ILVEN). In this one patient, we examined the efficacy of numerous treatment modalities and compared our results with those reported in the literature. In our experience, cryotherapy using liquid nitrogen proved to be the most successful therapy, and we have subsequently used it to treat almost all of this patient's lesions. Although cryotherapy does not provide an easy or dramatic cure, we believe it does produce reasonably good cosmetic results.

“…' Contreras (1949) successfully employed ointments and pastes containing from 1% to 2% of podophyllin as a keratolytic and on exuberant granulation tissue. Garb (1950) found he was able to clear up or greatly improve the lesions of amyloidosis cutis in a case of twenty years' duration which had not responded to X-radiation. He had presented the same case previously before the Bronx Bermatological Society in 1948 as having been improved with podophyllin therapy.…”
