Primary localized amyloidosis of ureter.
Primary localized amyloidosis of the ureter is very rare, and only 22 cases have been reported in the world literature. We report the twenty-third case along with a review of the relevant literature. Due to its radiologic resemblance to malignancy, many cases were treated by nephroureterectomy in the past. The case being reported here was successfully treated by local excision and ureteroneocystostomy.
