Primary amyloidosis of the bladder is a rare clinical occurrence, with only a limited number of cases documented in literature thus far. Herein, is the presentation of a case involving a 75 year old male who presented with painless gross hematuria. Subsequent laboratory results and imaging completed were misleading, creating a high suspicion for bladder malignancy. Further workup revealed bladder biopsies to have positive apple-green birefringence with Congo-red immunostaining, diagnostic of amyloidosis.
膀胱原发性淀粉样变性是一种罕见的临床病症,迄今为止文献中记载的病例数量有限。本文介绍了一例病例,患者为一名75岁男性,表现为无痛性肉眼血尿。随后完成的实验室检查结果和影像学检查具有误导性,高度怀疑为膀胱恶性肿瘤。进一步检查发现膀胱活检刚果红免疫染色呈阳性苹果绿双折射,确诊为淀粉样变性。
