Lichen amyloidosus. homogeneous eosinophilic material in the papilla tips, irregular acanthosis. enormous hyperkeratosis and parakeratosis.

Lichen amyloidosus. congo red staining. yellow-red staining of cloddy material in the papillary epidermis. when polarized, this material glows greenish.

Lichen amyloidosus. immunohistological imaging of cytokeratin. partly punctiform or linear, partly clumpy imaging of cytokeratin-positive structures (keratinamyloid) in the papillary dermis.
