Abstract:
Primary amyloidosis is a rare condition that can involve the urinary tract. These lesions can occur anywhere in the collecting system and are often mistaken clinically for malignancies. We report a case of localized ureteral amyloidosis. Our treatment consisted of a conservative approach with local resection.
