Abstract
- Amyloidosis is characterized by deposition of homogenous, eosinophilic, hyaline material in various tissues. Presently, most cases occur in a generalized form as a manifestation of an underlying plasma cell neoplasm(myeloma) or plasmacytic dyscrasia. On the other hand, most cases of symptomatic amyloid disease in the urinary bladder has occurred as an apparently solitary, localized tumefactive process and mimicks invasive bladder tumor. We report a case of primary amyloidosis of the bladder which was diagnosed after transurethral resection in a 65-year-old man with chronic renal failure.
