Agree, systemic amyloidosis causing TE. Any manifestations of FA polyneuropathy?

 

Many thanks Dr Hurt for your contribution to this wonderful website. Your cases, every Monday, and the prompt answers, along with discussions, will be missed.

Agree alopecia secondary to amyloid deposits for clinical correlation. 

I join the rest of my colleagues, thank you very much Dr. Hurt for the teachings and the willingness to answer our questions. Maybe you will have time for commenting once in a while as Arash suggested. 

Have a good day

Dear Dr Mark

I had studied many times the skin tumors and lesions ( above all adnexal skin lesions ), but I have begun to truly know them thanks to your comments. For this I will feel the lack of a master like you. Thank you so much!!!
