  • Title: Nodular amyloidosis: differentiation from colloid milium by electron microscopy.
    Author: Lai KW, Lambert E, Coleman S, Scott G, Mercurio MG.
    Journal: Am J Dermatopathol; 2009 Jul; 31(5):472-4. PubMed ID: 19542924.
    Abstract:
    Nodular amyloidosis is a primary cutaneous amyloidosis characterized by the deposition of amyloid L-type fibril proteins in the dermis. Clinical history and routine histology may not be sufficient to differentiate nodular amyloidosis from colloid milium. We present a case of a 45-year-old man with nodular amyloidosis, whose diagnosis was confirmed by the characteristic appearance of filaments on electron microscopy.
