Abstract:
Localised amyloidosis of the urethra is an extremely rare condition and we report one case of induration of the corpus spongiosum. This one is painful and increasingly obstructive. The first differential diagnosis we think about was an inflammatory process or carcinoma. The diagnosis can only be done after biopsies and microscopic observation. Localized amyloidosis must be recognized and this lesion must be locally treated. Since 40 years, about 25 such cases were described.
