Secondary bladder amyloidosis: a new case report.

Objective: To report a new case of secondary bladder amyloidosis, beinginvolvement of the urinary bladder by amyloidosis infrequent on the basis of very few references in the literature (we estimate the number of cases of secondary vesical amyloidosis reported to be around 30).

Methods/results: The case presented here corresponds to secondary bladder amyloidosis in a patient suffering from Still's disease, who began with hematuria and ended dying.

Conclusion: Secondary bladder amyloidosis constitutes a very infrequent pathology, and we can distinguish between primary forms of bladder amyloidosis and systemic forms of amyloidosis that affect the urinary bladder (secondary bladder amyloidosis).

Helical computed tomography angiography is the most efficient test to assess vascular calcifications in the iliac arterial sector in renal transplant candidates.

Unlabelled: The increased scope of renal transplant indications has lead to a larger number of recipients with vascular problems due to arterial calcifications in the iliac region. Compared to magnetic resonance and conventional arteriography, helical computed tomography angiography (HCTA) accurately depicts arterial diseases, including the location and extent of arterial calcification. The objective of this study was to assess the value of HCTA with maximum-intensity-projection (MIP) reconstruction to evaluate iliac arterial calcifications and stenosis among candidates for renal transplantation.
