Abstract
Periocular or/and orbital amyloidosis is rarely encountered. Diagnosis is based on pathological examination, and immunohistochemistry analysis should always be performed to guide systemic work-up. Orbital lymphoma and multiple myeloma should be ruled out if AL amyloidosis is diagnosed. Progression is slow, and surgery is the mainstay of treatment in symptomatic patients. Long-term multidisciplinary follow-up is advocated.
