    Lichenoid amyloidosis (LA), a subtype of primary cutaneous amyloidosis (PCA), is featured by intensely pruritic, hyperkeratotic papules which lacks standardized treatment. Dupilumab, a human monoclonal antibody targeting for interleukin (IL)-4/13 receptor α chain, is widely applied in type 2 inflammation diseases treatment. This article reported two cases of refractory LA successfully treated with dupilumab and reviewed publications reporting dupilumab treatment for PCA.
