Type: article
Abstract: Amyloidosis is a disease characterised by accumulation of a fibrillar protein called amyloid in the extracellular space.The kidneys, ureters and the bladder can be affected in the urinary tract.However, primary amyloidosis of bladder is a rare entity.Macroscopic hematuria could be the first and only symptom of primary amyloidosis of the bladder; therefore, it has similar findings with urinary tract malignancies.Histopathological evaluation is mandatory for the diagnosis.Follow-up should always include cystoscopic evaluation as recurrence is expected in the natural course.
