title: Primary localized amyloidosis of the ureter.
abstract: Primary localized amyloidosis of the ureter can closely resemble those of malignancy or inflammation involving the ureters in its presentation and ureteroscopic appearance and on diagnostic imaging studies. We provide a case of ureteral amyloidosis to reveal its imaging characteristic and to distinguish localized amyloidosis from malignancy and ureteritis.
