title: Primary amyloidosis of the eyelid: a case report.
abstract: The Authors describe a case of primary localized amyloidosis of the eyelids, focusing on diagnosis and possible treatment. The involment of several structures of the eyelid such as muscles, conjunctiva and puncta lacrimalia, as well as peculiar features of these proteinaceous deposits, suggest different combined procedures and precise timing in choosing the appropriated therapy.
