Abstract:
We present a case of secondary infertility due to familial amyloidosis. The patient presented with azoospermia, and no other sequela of the disease. A testis biopsy revealed tubules demonstrating full spermatogenesis interspersed with hyalinized tubules containing amyloid, confirmed with Congo red stain. A discussion regarding testicular amyloidosis is presented as well.
