Abstract
Amyloidosis cutis dyschromica (ACD), a rare distinct type of primary cutane ous amyloidosis was noted in two siblings: a 25-year-old male and his broth er aged 20 years. It was characterized by reticulate hyperpigmentation with hypopigmented spots seen almost all over the body without any papulation. This familial disorder has been reported mostly from Japan. Our report of f amilial ACD is probably the first from India.
