Ocular amyloid: adnexal and systemic involvement.

Conclusions: The varied presentations of ocular adnexal and orbital amyloidosis and the need for confirmatory biopsy often leads to a significant delay between first symptoms and diagnosis. While rarely sight-threatening, ocular adnexal and orbital amyloidosis carries significant morbidities and has a systemic association in a quarter of patients.
