Amiloidosis vesical primaria localizada idiopática

Abstract

To report one case of primary bladder amyloidosis. We studied a male patient with asymptomatic hematuria by means of transurethral resection. Pathologic features were consistent with amyloidosis of the bladder wall. We cannot prove either sites of amyloid deposits or an etiology for this disease. Local idiopathic bladder amyloidosis is a very rare disease and the most common presenting symptom is painless hematuria. It may be difficult to differentiate between this disease and a urothelial bladder neoplasia.
