A 43-year-old woman complained of gradual visual impairment, foreign body sensation, and a white mass in the right eye. Trichiasis and corneal excrescence were observed. A systemic examination revealed no concurrent disease; the family history was noncontributory. A lamellar keratoplasty was performed. An amyloid deposit was found in the excised specimen histopathologically. Secondary localized amyloidosis of the cornea caused by trichiasis is a rare condition.
