An extensive search for evidence of chronic infection, inflammation, neoplasms and paraproteinemia was conclusively negative in the other patient. The recognition of cutaneous signs of primary systemic amyloidosis is crucial to insure a rapid management aimed at postponing the fatal issue of the disease.

[more ▼] Toutes les altérations consécutives à la dilatation des veines des membres inférieurs, à l'incompétence de leurs valvules et à l'augmentation de pression veineuse constituent l'insuffisance veineuse chronique (IVC). Après avoir brièvement rappelé les mécanismes physiopathologiques à la base de l'IVC, nous évoquons dans cet article les manifestations cutanées associées à cette dernières ainsi que les traitements possibles, lorsqu'ils existent.
