Amyloidosis is a benign, non-neoplastic disease characterized by the deposition of extracellular fibrillar protein in tissues or organs, which may be systemic or localized. Primary amyloidosis localized in the bladder is very rare in the literature and may mimic bladder cancer at presentation. A 31-year-old female patient consulted to our clinic and was diagnosed with primary bladder amyloidosis; intravesical dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) therapy was started. To the best of our knowledge, this patient represents the fourth case in the Turkish medical literature.

“…Primary localised bladder amyloidosis is a rare disease with only approximately 200 cases reported in the literature to date 1. The aetiology is poorly understood, although it has been hypothesised that chronic inflammation in the bladder recruits lymphoplasmacytic cells to the bladder submucosa 2.…”

Primary bladder amyloidosis as a cause of haematuria

We report the case of a 46-year-old man who initially presented with macroscopic haematuria. Although initially concerning for a malignancy in the bladder, histology demonstrated a primary bladder amyloidosis that has remained stable for 6 years since the initial diagnosis. Primary bladder amyloidosis is an important clinical entity that can mimic bladder malignancy on clinical history, radiological investigation and cystoscopic evaluation. Although uncommon, it should not be neglected as a possible diagnosis in patients presenting with haematuria.

“…In the secondary type (AA amyloidosis), an underlying chronic inflammatory disease often arises as a complication. Primary localized amyloidosis of the urinary bladder is a rare condition with approximately 200 reported cases in the literature [1-3]. The clinical presentation and cystoscopic appearance of this condition are known to mimic bladder cancer.…”

Occlusive dressing therapy using dimethyl sulfoxide in a patient presenting with primary localized amyloidosis of the urinary bladder: a case report

IntroductionAmyloidosis is characterized by extracellular deposition of abnormal insoluble fibrils, which cause structural and functional disorders. Amyloidosis is classified into primary and secondary disease. We report a case of localized amyloidosis of the urinary bladder. In the English literature, this is the first case effectively treated with occlusive dressing therapy using dimethyl sulfoxide.Case presentationA 58-year-old Japanese woman was introduced to our department with asymptomatic gross hematuria. Cystoscopy revealed a gently raised nodule at the right lateral wall. Histopathological findings of this lesion revealed extensive amorphous eosinophilic deposits that stained positive with Congo red and Dylon. The patient was diagnosed with primary localized amyloidosis of the urinary bladder. To treat residual amyloidosis of the bladder, we performed occlusive dressing therapy using dimethyl sulfoxide. After treatment, cystoscopy and magnetic resonance imaging showed no relapse of the mass-like lesion of the bladder wall.ConclusionsOcclusive dressing therapy using dimethyl sulfoxide is efficacious and tolerable for amyloidosis of the urinary bladder. The maneuver of occlusive dressing therapy was simpler and easier than that of intravesical instillation, and occlusive dressing therapy was advantageous in that the patient could perform the therapy herself every day. However, invasive surgical management including cystectomy should be considered if conservative management is inefficacious.

Primary bladder amyloidosis

Abstract: Primary localised bladder amyloidosis is a very rare entity, with only 200 cases reported worldwide. Our case illustrates the classical presentation of isolated bladder amyloidosis with frank painless haematuria and irritative voiding symptoms.
