Abstract

Primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis is an uncommon lesion (1,2). Recently, Merika EE and coworkers (3) described two patients with localized amyloid lesion of the glans penis and in the literature review they found only 10 previously reported cases. A 50-year-old uncircumcised man presented with an asymptomatic penile lesion, unresponsive to topical steroid. The patient reported that he first noticed two small non-painful raised areas on his glans penis approximately 3 years previously. Since that time, these two areas had been slowly increasing in size.
