AB Various  substances  may  form  deposits  in  the  skin.  They  may  be  classified  as  endogenous  and  exogenous.  Endogenous  substances  are  the  principal  topic  of  this  chapter.  They  include  substances  that  are  normal  constituents  of  the  skin  but  are  abnormally  deposited  (eg,  increased  deposition  of  mucin)  and  substances  that  are  not  normal  constituents  of  the  skin  (eg,  amyloid).  Exogenous  pigmentary  deposits,  such  as  tattoos,  drug-related  pigmentation  and  heavy  metals,  and  the  special  category  of  endogenous  deposition,  such  as  melanin  depositions,  are  discussed  in  Chap.  15.
