Amyloidosis of the conjunctiva.

Case Reports Case 1.-A male farmer, aged 36 years, presented with thickening of the right upper eyelid, which was everted with difficulty to reveal a pea-sized nodule in the lateral part of the tarsal conjunctiva, which was irregularly thickened up to the fornices. Clinical signs of accompanying trachoma were present in both eyes. The nodule was excised and sent for microscopic examination. The histopathological picture showed amyloid infiltration of the conjunctiVa (Fig. 1) with areas of calcification (Fig. 2). Investigations did not reveal any abnormality or the presence of systemic disease.
