Purpose: To report conjunctival deposits as an initial manifestation of sarcoidosis.
Methods: Case reports.
Results: Two patients with bilateral bulbar conjunctival white deposits underwent conjunctival biopsy. The biopsy specimens showed noncaseating granulomas with prominent Schaumann bodies. Serum angiotensin-converting enzyme levels were increased in both patients. The first patient had abnormal results of pulmonary function tests. Sarcoidosis was diagnosed in both patients.
Conclusions: Conjunctival deposits may represent the initial clinical manifestation of sarcoidosis.
