Abstract
- Primary bladder amyloidosis is a rare disease causing hematuria which is difficult to be differenciated from bladder cancer at cystoscope. We report a case of primary bladder amyloidosis who was diagnosed at other procedure for distal ureteral stone failed in repeated ESWL disintegration. Transurethral resection of bladder mass and the pathologic results revealed amyloidosis. The systemic studies for the detection of the site of other amyloidosis were failed to get positive result. There were massive hematuria after a few hours later from the transurethral resection of the bladder mass and the bleeding was controlled with 1% alum bladder irrigation. The patient is followed regularly for recurrent amyloidosis.
