| Zusammenfassung: | A case of primary localized amyloidosis of the bladder during a twelve-year period is described. The initial symptom was miction pain when she was 43 years old. Cystoscopic examination revealed yellowish elevated lesion with hemorrhage at the right side of the bladder neck. Transurethral resection was performed, but two years later recurrence was found at the trigonum as well as the original site. The two lesions were apart. She remained asymptomatic for the following ten years until she returned to us with bladder symptoms. Cystoscopy showed the lesion was more diffuse and the posterior wall was involved in continuity with the trigonum. Complete transurethral resection was not possible because of generalized bladder involvement. Our case illustrates the clinically benign but slowly progressive nature of amyloidosis of the bladder. Multifocal recurrence is also to be noted. Our current treatment policy is conservative treatment with careful follow-up. She is asymptomatic three months postoperatively |
