Urinary bladder amyloidosis, more formally primary urinary bladder amyloidosis, is a rare benign condition of urinary bladder that can mimic cancer of the urinary bladder.[1]
General
- Primary bladder amyloidosis is rare - approximately 200 reported cases as of 2014.[1][2]
- Systemic amyloidosis should be excluded.[2]
- May clinically mimic bladder cancer.[1]
Gross
- Urinary bladder wall thickening.[1]
Microscopic
Features:
- Lamina propria with amyloid.
- Amyloid = amorphous, paucicellular material that is pink on H&E, classically has "cracked" appearance.
- "Cracked": irregular fragments where the edges and centre of fragments are homogeneous.
- Amyloid = amorphous, paucicellular material that is pink on H&E, classically has "cracked" appearance.
DDx:
- Fibrin.
- Fibrosis.
- Leiomyoma.

Sign out
Urinary Bladder, Transurethral Resection: - Urothelial mucosa with amyloidosis and mild chronic inflammation. - Benign muscularis propria present. - NEGATIVE for urothelial carcinoma in situ. - NEGATIVE for evidence of malignancy. Comment: Congo red staining and polarization confirm the presence of amyloid. Primary bladder amyloidosis is rare; systemic causes of amyloidosis should be considered.
