Abstract
- Amyloidosis of the prostate is a rare disease. With more patients undergoing biopsy of the prostate to exclude malignancy, the likelihood of identifying primary or secondary amyloidosis of the prostate has increased. We report a case of amyloidosis of the prostate in a 70-year-old man. The diagnosis was made from prostatic biopsy. Later, he was diagnosed with prostatic adenocarcinoma after transurethral resection of the prostate due to persistent lower urinary tract symptoms.
