Localized amyloidosis of urethra.
A case of primary amyloidosis of the urethra is described. Although rare, this entity is important since its antecedent causes, clinical symptoms, and panendoscopic and radiographic appearance are similar to and must be differentiated from carcinoma of the urethra. The prognosis of this disorder is excellent, and aggressive therapy is not indicated.
