RESUMO
CASO CLÍNICO: Varón de 23 años con ptosis unilateral izquierda de 2 años de evolución. Tras meses de tratamiento ineficaz para conjuntivitis vernal, la biopsia demostró una amiloidosis tarsal. La resolución quirúrgica del cuadro fue satisfactoria, tanto anatómica como funcionalmente. Discusión: La amiloidosis ocular es una enfermedad rara que se debe sospechar en casos de masas infiltrativas. El método diagnóstico es la biopsia. El tratamiento debe ser individualizado
