“…It may be the initial mucocutaneous manifestation 1,2 and tends to slowly worsen over the course of several years. [2][3][4] Occasionally, nail changes represent the sole cutaneous sign of systemic amyloidosis. 4 Bullous amyloidosis is caused by local amyloid deposition resulting in cutaneous blisters.…”

Amyloidoses are a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by extracellular fibrillar protein deposits in the organs and tissues. These proteins are not biochemically related to each other, but share certain common characteristics, including apple green birefringence with polarized light after staining with Congo red, and beta-pleated sheet configuration through x-ray diffraction. Amyloid deposits may occur in many organs (systemic amyloidoses) or may affect a single tissue (localized or organ-specific amyloidoses). There are different classifications, but in this review the amyloidoses are organized by clinical symptoms, which are determined by the amyloid protein involved. Special attention is given to cutaneous and mucous membrane manifestations, which are often the first sign of the disease and are useful for early diagnosis, thus avoiding more aggressive procedures. The involvement of other organs is analyzed, as are the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of systemic amyloidoses.
