Concepts and semantics are crucial for good communication between clinicians and pathologists. Amyloidosis was described more than 150 years ago. Therefore, the terminology related to it is abundant, varied, and sometimes complex. In this report, we intend to discuss several terms related to the disease, with special emphasis on cutaneous amyloidosis. We present a review, from Virchow to present, of the concepts related to amyloidosis: its nature, the classification of cutaneous forms of the disease, and the techniques used in its diagnosis.}
