title: Isolated conjunctival amyloidosis--a case report.
abstract: Isolated conjunctival amyloidosis is extremely rare and usually diagnosed histologically instead of clinically. This has been variously reported as an unusual cause of ptosis, complication of trachoma, painless nodular aggregates and recurrent subconjunctival hemorrhages. Once diagnosed, evaluation for systemic disease is advised though results of examination are almost always negative and frustrating.
