A case of primary, systemic amyloidosis is reported because of the unique location of cutaneous lesions. Amyloid deposits had occluded both external auditory canals. Both the cutaneous biopsies and postmortem examination established the diagnosis.

However, the ankle lesion, unlike most ectodermal defects, is not symmetrical and is associated with a decided deformity due to scar tissue formation.
