A case of primary localized amyloidosis of the penile urethra.
Primary localized amyloidosis of the penile urethra is rare. We report a case in which the urethra was obstructed by amyloid tissue without evidence of systemic amyloidosis. After urethral dilatation, the patient reported a markedly improved urinary stream with minimal dysuria.
