Abstract

Primary localized amyloidosis of lacrimal gland is a rare occurrence. This report describes a female patient with isolated amyloidosis of the lacrimal gland. A 45-year-old Indian woman presented with a swelling over the left lacrimal gland region. Computed tomography showed uniform enlargement of the lacrimal gland. A lacrimal gland biopsy revealed amyloidosis. No systemic involvement was detected on further investigation. To our knowledge, this is the first report of lacrimal gland amyloidosis from India and our report also highlights the importance of lacrimal gland biopsy in diagnosing lacrimal gland masses.

摘要

泪腺原发性淀粉样变性较为罕见。本报告描述了一例孤立性泪腺淀粉样变性的女性患者。一名 45 岁的印度女性因左侧泪腺区域肿胀就诊。计算机断层扫描显示泪腺均匀肿大。泪腺活检显示淀粉样变性。进一步检查未发现全身受累。据我们所知，这是印度首例泪腺淀粉样变性的报告，我们的报告还强调了泪腺活检在诊断泪腺肿块中的重要性。
