Dupilumab for treatment of primary cutaneous amyloidosis in adults: two case reports and literature review

Lichenoid amyloidosis (LA), a subtype of primary cutaneous amyloidosis (PCA), is featured by intensely pruritic, hyperkeratotic papules which lacks standardized treatment. Dupilumab, a human monoclonal antibody targeting for interleukin (IL)-4/13 receptor <i>α</i> chain, is widely applied in type 2 inflammation diseases treatment. This article reported two cases of refractory LA successfully treated with dupilumab and reviewed publications reporting dupilumab treatment for PCA.

Lichenoid amyloidosis (LA), a subtype of primary cutaneous amyloidosis (PCA), is featured by intensely pruritic, hyperkeratotic papules which lacks standardized treatment.
