Abstract

We describe here a case of a 33-year-old man who had lichen amyloidosus associated with Kimura's disease. In this case, treatment with cyclosporine dramatically improved the lesions of both Kimura's disease and lichen amyloidosus. Although Kimura's disease and lichen amyloidosus are both rare distinct entities, to our knowledge, 11 cases of association of Kimura's disease and lichen amyloidosus have been described previously.
