Abstract
Nodular amyloidosis is a rare entity that predominantly affects females in the sixth and seventh decades. Frequent cutaneous sites of involvement are the extremities, trunk, and genitalia. Numerous cosmetic procedures have been employed to treat the lesions of nodular amyloidosis. Dermabrasion, which was performed on the lesions of nodular amyloidosis on the chin after surgical debulking, proved successful in the treatment of localized nodular amyloidosis. Follow-up at 26 months showed no clinical evidence of recurrence. Dermabrasion offers another acceptable modality for cosmetic treatment of nodular amyloidosis.
