Macular amyloidosis diagnostic outcomes of skin biopsy: A systematic review.

Macular amyloidosis (MA) is a primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis, characterized by amyloid deposition in the papillary dermis. The clinical presentation includes pruritic hyperpigmented macules and patches with a reticulated or rippled pattern, primarily found on the upper back and extremities. Biopsy is an essential diagnostic tool for confirming MA. This systematic review focused on the biopsy outcomes in patients diagnosed with MA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
