Localized light chain amyloidosis involving the lacrimal sac: A case report

Amyloidosis involving the lacrimal sac is extremely rare. In this study, we demonstrated a rare case of localized light chain amyloidosis in the lacrimal sac region. The lacrimal sac lesion presented as infiltrative with bony erosion. Given the slow growth of the lesion and the absence of a blood flow signal inside, we concluded that the lesion was less likely to be malignant. Complete removal of the lacrimal sac lesion combined with simultaneous lacrimal passage reconstruction was performed. The diagnosis of light chain amyloidosis was confirmed by histology. The surgical results were favorable, and no recurrence was observed over one-year follow-up. Our case report enriches the understanding of amyloid deposition in the ocular adnexa.
