Primary conjunctival amyloidosis and allergic conjunctivitis. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol. 2020 Jun 29;: Authors: Romero-Caballero MD, Pozo-Lorenzo FJ, Berrio-Campos R, Quilez-Franco P, Pastor-Quirante FA Abstract Primary conjunctival amyloidosis is a rare disease of unknown origin, secondary to the deposit of amyloid material within the conjunctiva itself, producing a tumour. In the case presented, the concurrence of allergic conjunctivitis and chronic eye scratching could be triggers of the excessive production of immunoglobulins. The deposit of insoluble immunoglobulin light chains located within the conjunctiva itself causes this conjunctival mass. PMID: 32616371 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
