Abstract
Co-existence of primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis and diffuse systemic sclerosis is very rare. In a 61-year-old woman who was diagnosed as primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis with biopsy 15 years ago, additional diagnosis of diffuse systemic sclerosis was made based upon skin, locomotor system and capilloroscopy findings and autoantibody (anti- Scl70) positivity. These two autoimmune diseases, which have different aetiopathogenesis as well as diverse clinical and genetic characteristics, are rarely seen together.
Özet
Primer lokalize kutanöz amiloidoz ve diffüz sistemik skleroz birlikteliği nadirdir. 15 yıl önce biyopsi ile primer lokalize kutanöz amiloidoz tanısı alan 61 yaşındaki bir kadın hastaya deri ve lokomotor sistem bulguları, kapilleroskopi bulguları ve otoantikor (anti-Scl-70) pozitifliği ile diffüz sistemik skleroz tanısı konulmuştur. Farklı klinik, etiyopatogenetik ve genetik özellikleri olan bu iki hastalık nadiren bir arada görülmektedir.
