Primary Localized Vesical Amyloidosis Mimicking Bladder Carcinoma: A Case Report
Authors
Abstract:
Amyloidosis of urinary bladder is a rare condition and may be primary or secondary in nature. A case of primary localized vesical amyloidosis (VA) in a 40-yr-old man is described confused with neoplasm by cystoscopic, urographic. Surgical specimens obtained by transurethral resection (TUR) were diagnostic and histologically revealed amyloid deposits in sub-epithelial stroma with chronic inflammatory and giant-cell reaction. Congo-red positivity of the deposit was retained even after pre-treatment with KMnO4, confirming AL protein and primary nature of the amyloidosis.

An 80-year-old ex-smoker man presented with one episode of gross painless hematuria. His past medical history included hypertension, cerebrovascular accident, and osteoarthritis. Physical examination, routine blood tests, and ultrasonography were normal. Urine culture, microscopy, and cytology were unremarkable. On cystoscopy, a suspicious looking papillary mass was noted on the bladder roof, w...

amyloidosis is a disorder of protein metabolism characterized by extracellular deposition of abnormal protein fibrils. it may either be localized to any organ or systematically distributed throughout the body. the biochemical nature of proteins varies but the physical and tinctorial properties are shared by all the amyloidogenic proteins. in the west, it is mainly composed of amyloid light (al)...

Supraglottic adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is extremely rare and may be misdiagnosed as laryngeal amyloidosis. The present report describes a case of supraglottic ACC, which went unrecognized until histopathological examination of the neoplasm 18 months after the first presentation. The present patient presented with progressive hoarseness for half a year and initially required partial resecti...

Amyloidosis is an uncommon disease that results from the extracellular deposition of abnormal fibrillary protein. This paper reports a case of primary amyloidosis with predominant involvement of the gastrointestinal tract and heart as a mimicker of Crohn's disease in a sixty-seven years old man admitted with repeated diarrhea and fatigue. This patient poorly responded to 5-aminosalicylic acid a...
