Paracolloid of the Skin

Abstract: A 51-year-old Caucasian man presented with a yellowish lesion containing multiple protuberances over his right cheek. Light and electron microscopic examination revealed an anhistic substance lacking definite characteristics of either amyloid or collid milium. The term paracolloid degeneration of the skin is introduced to designate this substance which is believed to derive from collagen. A review of the literature showed similar cases previously published under the names of nodular amyloidosis or disseminated… Show more

“…Under a transmission electron microscope, amyloid filaments appear straight and long and have a uniform diameter (6 to 7 nm). This is in contrast to colloid in nodular colloid degeneration, which consists of short, wavy, and irregularly arranged filaments that are 3 to 4 nm in diameter3,10,11.…”

“…The third form, known as`nodular colloid degeneration', was first described by Labadie in 1927 10 and later by other authors. 11,12 It consists of isolated or multiple plaques and nodules 0´5±5´0 cm in diameter, 11 which are located predominantly on the face but can also develop on the trunk and extremities. Holzberger 13 reported CM of the hands in a group of 28 workers employed in an oil refinery in the tropics.…”

“…9,12,13 While the lesions can be clinically and histologically similar to the adult form, ultrastructural examination reveals a striking difference. [14][15][16] The disorder most commonly presents as an isolated nodule on the face, trunk, or scalp and may be up to 5 cm in size. Apparently in the juvenile form there is a hereditary predisposition to sun-induced degeneration of basal keratinocytes.…”
