patients, at least since 1983, according to Medline. Amyloid deposition has been reported in lichen amyloidosis associated with several skin disorders including atopic dermatitis. However, lichen amyloidosis has not been reported in cyclosporine-treated patients. It is well known that PLCNA is sometimes associated with autoimmune connective tissue disorders, especially Sjögren’s syndrome. It has been reported that five out of 14 patients with PLCNA are involved with Sjögren’s syndrome, suggesting that PLCNA is associated with B lymphocyte disorders in Sjögren’s syndrome. The amyloid in PLCNA is usually composed of monoclonal Ig light chains, which are likely produced by plasma cells infiltrated into the skin. The immunity of the present patient, who did not suffer from Sjögren’s syndrome, may have been affected by atopic dermatitis and ⁄ or the cyclosporine used for the treatment. This is the first report of PLCNA in a patient with atopic dermatitis treated with cyclosporine. Although there is a possibility that these two factors affected the immunity of the patient, resulting in the formation of amyloid nodules, the mechanisms for amyloid deposition from IgG kappa light chain is still unknown.
