Methods
Colored slit-lamp photo-documentation of five BGM L-kappa patients with different types of immunotactoid keratopathy (ITK) : Pat. 1 : Classical crystalline-like ITK (Fig.1A); Pat. 2 : Central lattice-like ITK in 1992 (Fig. 2A ) and moderate diffuse-like ITK in 2009 (Fig.2C); Pat. 3 : Peripheral granular-like ITK (Fig 3A); Pat. 4 : Peripheral band-like ITK (Fig.4A); Pat. 5 : Peripheral patches-like ITK (Fig.5A). Systemic and serological examination of all five patients.

Results
The systemic and serologic examination disclose in all five patients a BMG L-kappa.The 17-year follow-up of Pat.2 shows a change and
reduction of the corneal opacities due to a strict lower protein nutrition (Fig.2A and 2C).Differential diagnosis : Pat.1 against cystinosis
(Fig.1B) and Schnyder; Pat.2 against lattice CD (Fig.2B); Pat.3 against granular CD 1 (Fig.3B); Pat.4 against arcus lipoides and LCAT (Fig.4B); Pat.5 against gelatinous CD and Salzmann (Fig.5B).

Conclusions ITK can mimick some forms of hereditary and degenerative corneal disorders(1). ITK
can be the first symptom of BGM. An annual internal check of BGM is to recommend because of the occurrence of malign MG in 20% of cases(2).
