A 79-year-old man presented with a large tumor on the left side of his head, which had grown over 5 years. Regional lymph nodes were impalpable and computed tomography revealed no signs of bone infiltration. Histology showed that the entire dermis was filled with amorphous eosinophilic material. Immunohistochemistry was negative for cytokeratin, but showed that the dermis and parts of the subcutis were filled with amyloid consisting of immunoglobulin light chains. There were no signs of paraproteinemia or underlying plasmocytoma. In electron microscopy, the typical amyloid fibrils were found. The tumor was completely removed via curettage. At 1-year follow-up, the patient was doing fine with no signs of relapse or systemic disease.
