In addition, ectropion and lower eyelid epithelium metaplasia were seen in the left eye (Figure 1).
Photomicrograph of the biopsy specimen shows deposit of amyloid in the conjunctival chorion stained in pink (Congo red 50x); E = conjunctival epithelium and A = amyloid.

Histopathologic examination revealed acellular amorphous eosinophilic material that was congophilic and showed apple-green birefringence and dichroism with polarization microscopy, consistent with amyloidosis (Figures 2 and 3).
Photomicrograph of the biopsy specimen shows deposit of amyloid stained in gray- violet and collagen in blue (Mallory's triple stain 50x). Conjunctival chorion shows waxy infiltration. Epithelium is not involved. E = conjunctival epithelium, A = amyloid, and C = connective tissue.
