Primary Amyloidosis of The Ureter Simulating Malignancy

A 61‐year old woman with 7 years' history of pain, infections and haematuria developed right ureter stenosis which was suspected of being a tumour. Microscopic examination of the ureter with stenosis showed primary amyloidosis. Although primary amyloidosis of the ureter is rare, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of ureter malignancy.
