Primary amyloidosis of ureter.
Another case of primary isolated amyloidosis of the ureter is reported; we believe this is the seventeenth such case reported in the world literature. The previous cases are reviewed, and the clinical presentation and treatment are discussed. The importance of distinguishing the condition from transitional cell carcinoma of the ureter is emphasized and a conservative approach to surgical treatment is advocated.
