Primary localized amyloidosis urinary tract is rare. Localized amyloidosid only glands is a very rare entity. The clinical impression may resemble neoplastic disease but the diagnosis is confirmed by histochemical study. Biopsy of the lesion revealed dermal deposits of amorphous eosinophilic material. A case of patient with primary amyldosis of glands penis is reported. The literature is review...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of primary localized amyloidosis of the upper urinary tract. METHODS Patients with primary localized amyloidosis of the upper urinary tract were identified by database inquiry, and their medical records were reviewed. RESULTS Primary localized amyloidosis was identified in the ureter in two patients and in ...

Primary localized cutaneous nodular amyloidosis (nodular amyloidosis) is a rare and distinct type of amyloidosis, in which amyloid L deposition is limited to the skin and typically manifested as a tumefactive nodule on the acral sites. However, the definite cause of nodular amyloidosis is still unknown. Although it is relatively well known that the amyloid deposits in nodular amyloidosis origin...

Background: Nonfunctional-kidney caused by primary localized ureteral amyloidosis is relatively rarely reports. However, the ureteral localized amyloidosis is similar as the ureteral primary carcinoma in Computed Tomography (CT) iconography. The misinterpretation should be avoided for urologists, radiologists and pathologists. Methods: A 41 y old woman was admitted to Jilin University first hos...

Amyloidosis is characterized by a deposition of insoluble fibrils in various organs and tissues. Amyloid deposition, in the gastrointestinal track, provokes a dysfunction of the organ, due to an accumulation of fibrils, and causes a variety of clinical symptoms and endoscopic findings. Primary amyloidosis in the gastrointestinal tract is rarely reported in Korea. We experienced a case of recurr...

A case of localized tracheobronchial primary amyloidosis masquerading as "bronchial asthma" is presented. Computed tomography of the chest and fiberoptic bronchoscopy image are included. Tracheobronchial primary amyloidosis is a rare, but potentially curable cause of airway obstruction mimicking asthma.

Amyloidosis is a rare disease characterized by the formation of pathological protein deposits in organs or tissues. It is typically a systemic disease which can occur in a localized form. Amyloidosis of the breast is uncommon. Common mammographic findings of breast amyloidosis are multiple nodules with or without calcifications. We report a case of primary localized breast amyloidosis presentin...
