SUMMARY.— Forty cases of lichen amyloidosis were found in 2 medical units in a Singapore general medical hospital over a 3-year period. The majority of the patients were middle-age Chinese females with a long standing history (over 20 years) of the disease. Pruritus was significantly absent in 37·5%. The common cutaneous lesions were papules (62·5%) and plaques (22·5%) found mostly on the shins and thighs (90%). A number of precipitating factors and associated skin diseases were noted, but their relationship to lichen amyloidosis is obscure. Treatment with intralesional and topical steroids is discussed.
