Özet

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.
