“…4 No cases of amyloidosis localized in the nasolacrimal system have been diagnosed with systemic findings. [4][5][6] Our report provides further evidence to clinicians and patients that localized periorbital AL amyloidosis may not be associated with systemic disease.…”

“…Имеется несколько сообщений об образовании так называемых адреналиновых камней, при которых у пациентов, длительно получающих антиглаукомное лечение местными гипотензивными препаратами группы адреномиметиков, формировались специфические конкременты [57,58]. В литературе описано также несколько случаев первичного локального амилоидоза с накоплением амилоида в виде конкремента в слезном мешке [59,60].…”

“…Protein amyloid AA, derived from serum protein A, is associated with amyloidosis previously considered to have arisen secondary to chronic inflammatory or infectious disorders, such as tuberculosis, leprosy, rheumatoid arthritis, or osteomyelitis. The other protein, amyloid AL, consists of all or part of the immunoglobulin lambda or kappa light chain and is common to cases of primary amyloidosis, which usually occurs secondary to a benign, low-grade, light chain-producing monoclonal gammopathy and is associated with widespread organ deposition and dysfunction [ 4 5 ]. Serum electrophoresis in our patient did not show monoclonal gammopathy but rather an increased gamma fraction; thus, given the lack of a systemic chronic inflammatory and infectious disorder, primary systemic amyloidosis was diagnosed.…”

“…Isolated orbital and adnexal amyloidosis are usually treated by surgical removal of the amyloid mass. However, local recurrence is not uncommon in such cases [ 4 ]. In our case, we did not microscopically confirm eradication of the amyloid substance during the operation.…”
