ICD-11 definition : A rare form of cutaneous amyloidosis characterized by single or multiple waxy nodules
or infiltrated plaques on the trunk or limbs. It is due to localized deposition of
lambda light chains thought to be produced by plasma cells in the skin. A minority
of patients have a detectable circulating paraprotein band. There is a small risk
of progression to primary systemic amyloidosis.;
