Two cases of non-familial, late onset (50 and 62-years-old) hyalinosis cutis et mucosae were studied and compared with classical early onset cases. Late onset cases showed essentially the same histological and ultrastructural features described for early onset cases. The late onset variety should be distinguished from other diseases; they resemble systemic amyloidosis and sometimes the adult form of colloid milium.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
