Juvenile colloid milium associated with ligneous conjunctivitis: report of a case and review of the literature.
Juvenile colloid milium is an extremely rare skin condition with an onset prior to puberty; it can be distinguished histologically from the adult form. We report a case of juvenile colloid milium associated with ligneous conjunctivitis and gingival deposits of an amyloid-like homogenous eosinophilic material. We hypothesize that all three of these are the same pathological process occurring at different sites and review the literature on these associations.
