摘要

Amyloidosis is the result of fibrous and insoluble amyloid protein deposition in extracellular spaces of tissues and organs, including the skin. Through the analysis of medical records, clinical condition and laboratory tests, this article proposes a rare case report of an adult patient with symptoms and diagnosis of polymyositis, histopathology of nodular amyloidosis with skin lesions suggestive of lupus. The patient is still being followed at the dermatology clinic of Valença Medical School, in order to improve the prognosis and prevent the progression of existing symptoms.
