متن کاملPrimary localised cutaneous amyloidosis--a systematic review.
INTRODUCTION Amyloidosis is defined as extracellular deposits of heterogenic, misfolded proteins, amyloid fibrils, in various tissues.

The method of treatment was compared to the risk of local recur...

Indeed, the documented behavior of melan...
