Abstract

Amiloidoz, birçok organda ekstraselüler, hyalin, amorf ve proteinöz bir madde birikimi ile karakterizedir. Bu olgu sunumunda, primer lokalize mesane amiloidozuna göre literatürde daha az görülen, kronik obstrüktif akciğer hastalığı KOAH ’na bağlı geliştiği düşünülen ve mesane kanserini taklit eden sekonder mesane amiloidozu olgusu incelenmiştir
