Background:
Amyloidosis of the bladder is a benign condition which can present with a multitude of symptoms including bladder mass, irritative voiding symptoms and haematuria.
Case Presentation:
We report on the investigation and management of a patient with recurrent localised amyloidosis of the bladder, which appears to have been managed fortuitously by concurrent methotrexate prescribed for another indication.
Conclusion:
We provide further assessment and management with a focus on the possible benefit of methotrexate for management of localised bladder amyloidosis.
