More Than Just a Plaque: A Diagnostic Challenge in a Case of Suspected Cutaneous Localized Nodular Amyloidosis
Primary Localized Cutaneous Nodular Amyloidosis (PLCNA) can rarely present on the face and may mimic more common dermatoses. In such atypical cases, especially in resource-limited settings where confirmatory tests like Congo Red staining are unavailable, histopathological examination is crucial for diagnosis. Early recognition is vital for proper management and monitoring for potential systemic involvement.
