A case of primary localized amyloidosis of urethra.
Amyloidosis of the urethra is a rare disease. The clinical appearance resembles carcinoma of the urethra, so that biopsy is required to make the appropriate diagnosis. Once primary localized amyloidosis of the urethra has been diagnosed, selection of the appropriate treatment for each case becomes important. We report a case of primary localized amyloidosis in the male anterior urethra. This case was treated successfully with urethral dilatation.
