Lack of effect of cyclosporine in lichen amyloidosis associated with atopic dermatitis

Eur J Dermatol. 2002 Nov-Dec;12(6):612-4.

Abstract

Lichen amyloidosis associated with atopic dermatitis is rare. We report a case of widespread lichen amyloidosis in association with long-standing refractory atopic dermatitis. Treatment with oral cyclosporine for three months was started, but no clinical and histological improvement was noticed.
