Abstract: | Primary localized genitourinary amyloid deposition is a rare disease that can be confused with cancer. Amyloid tumours of the urethra are exceptionally rare, with only 40 cases having been reported in the literature since 1909. A case is presented herein, with a full review of the presenting features, coexisting conditions and pathology and recommendations for treatment, based on the findings in previously reported cases. |
