ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Primary cutaneous amyloidosis of the penis is a rare entity.OBJECTIVES:
We describe two cases of primary penile cutaneous amyloidosis presenting as localized lesions on the penis and not associated with systemic amyloidosis.METHODS:
A comprehensive literature review of all published cases.RESULTS:
The rarest form of cutaneous amyloidosis, nodular amyloidosis, is the most frequent presentation of penis-limited cutaneous amyloid with a low incidence of systemic disease progression.CONCLUSIONS:
Although primary nodular amyloidosis is a rare entity it seems to be the most frequent presentation of penile-limited cutaneous disease, with a low incidence of systemic involvement.
