Primary amyloidosis of lower urinary tract is a rare entity and is usually localized to a single site. Its clinical features, and cystoscopic and radiological findings are indistinguishable from neoplastic or inflammatory lesions. We report an unusual case of amyloidosis involving multiple sites (prostatic stroma, trigone and lower ureters) in the lower urinary tract. MRI findings of bladder amyloid, which could be used to suspect this condition, are also described.
下尿路原发性淀粉样变性是一种罕见疾病,通常局限于单一部位。其临床特征、膀胱镜检查及影像学表现与肿瘤性或炎性病变难以区分。我们报告一例罕见的下尿路淀粉样变性病例,病变累及多个部位(前列腺基质、膀胱三角区及下段输尿管)。本文还描述了膀胱淀粉样变性的MRI表现,这些表现可用于怀疑该疾病。
