| Zusammenfassung: | A 58-year-old woman was introduced to our department complaining of lower abdominal pain and macrohematuria in March, 1978. Intravenous pyelography revealed stenosis and a ureteral stone on the right distal ureter. In May, 1983, she visited our department again. Endoscopically, bleeding from the right ureteral orifice was observed. Retrograde pyelography demonstrated the right hydronephrosis and irregular margin of the right lower ureter. However, the urine cytology was negative, and CT scan and ureteroscopy showed no tumorous lesion on the portion. On 7 August, 1989, partial ureterectomy and end to end anastomosis was performed. Histopathological examination by H-E and Congo red stain proved amyloid deposition. Postoperative course was uneventful. A total of 40 cases of amyloidosis of the ureter in the world are reviewed |
