Article Synopsis
- Localized bladder amyloidosis is a rare condition that can be mistaken for a bladder tumor, with only over 200 cases documented.
- A 67-year-old woman experienced painless blood in urine, leading to tests that suggested bladder amyloidosis, including a Congo red staining potentially indicating the presence of amyloid.
- The excised tissue from her procedure showed unexpected pink-staining patterns but did not confirm amyloidosis through Congo red staining, highlighting the importance of thorough evaluation for diagnosis despite negative results.
