Abstract
Nodular cutaneous amyloidosis of the vulva is a rare phenomenon. We describe a patient with localized nodular lesions on the vulva that mimicked kissing ulcers such as are seen with vulvar carcinoma. These lesions were a result of multiple myeloma with subsequent primary systemic amyloidosis. The patient died of cardiac and renal decompensation 2 months after diagnosis.
