Primary cutaneous amyloidosis is a form of amyloidosis associated with oncostatin M receptor.[2][3] This type of amyloidosis has been divided into the following types:[4]: 520 

  • Macular amyloidosis is a cutaneous condition characterized by itchy, brown, rippled macules usually located on the interscapular region of the back.[4]: 521  Combined cases of lichen and macular amyloidosis are termed biphasic amyloidosis, and provide support to the theory that these two variants of amyloidosis exist on the same disease spectrum.[5]
