title: Localised amyloidosis of the urinary bladder: a case report and review of treatment.
abstract: Since the first case of primary amyloidosis of the bladder was reported by Solomin in 1871, only about 50 other case reports have appeared in the English literature to our knowledge. Due to rarity of this condition, no unit has treated enough patients to formulate a standard protocol of management which in most cases is empiric. The clinical importance of this condition is to differentiate it from a neoplasm of the bladders.
