In the article by Chen et al., entitled “Diagnosis of Primary Cutaneous Amyloidosis by Rapid 4,6-Diamidino-2-Phenylindole Staining” [Dermatology, DOI: 10.1159/000518082], Table 3 incorrectly reverses the results of junior and senior dermatopathologists in the diagnosis of primary cutaneous amyloidosis after different staining. This erratum corrects Table 3 to match the description of the results in the main text, section “Results: clinical and statistical data.” The corrected Table is shown here:
Table 3.
