Histopathologic examination of the excised corneal button from the right eye of the proband. Large eosinophilic deposits are noted in the anterior, mid, and posterior corneal stroma (A, hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification ×200). The deposits noted stain brightly with Masson trichrome (B, original magnification ×200) and Congo red (C, original magnification ×250). The Congo red-stained section demonstrates dichroism with the use of polarizing filters (D), produced by the presence of amyloid fibrils in the stromal deposits.
