Abstract

Amyloidosis is a disorder of protein metabolism characterized by extracellular deposition of amy­lo­id, which is an eosinophylic, amorphous protein, in various tissues. The disease is generally diagnosed by the tissue biopsy of the affected organ. Amyloidosis is classified into two main groups as primary and se­condary; and these groups are subdivided into systemic and local. Although lots of pathogenetic mec­ha­nisms have been proposed, the etiology and pathogenesis of the disease are not totally known. In this study, a case with secondary localised corneal amyloidosis is presented.

Özet

Amiloidozis; eozinofilik, amorf bir protein olan amiloidin çeşitli dokularda ekstraselüler birikimi ile ka­rakterize olan bir protein metabolizma bozukluğudur. Hastalığın tanısı genellikle tutulan organın do­ku biyopsisiyle konulur. Primer ve sekonder olarak iki ana gruba ayrılan amiloidozis; sistemik ve lo­ka­li­ze olarak da alt gruplara bölünür. Çok sayıda patogenetik mekanizmanın öne sürülmesine karşın, has­ta­lığın etyoloji ve patogenezi tam olarak bilinmemektedir. Bu çalışmada, sekonder lokalize korneal a­mi­lo­idozisi bulunan bir olgunun sunumu yapılmıştır.
