title: Isolated amyloidosis of anterior uvea and trabecular meshwork.
abstract: Amyloid deposition in the iris is rare, scanty and associated with systemic disease. We present a case of isolated localized heavy amyloid infiltration of the iris and describe a new hillock-pattern feature visualized using scanning electron microscopy.
