J Urol. 1988 Apr;139(4):807-9. doi: 10.1016/s0022-5347(17)42647-4.

Abstract

We report a case of organ-limited amyloidosis of the distal portion of both ureters in which bilateral osseous metaplasia was present as well as radiographic evidence of ureteral wall calcification. This case represents the twenty-eighth report of localized ureteral amyloidosis and the fourth report with bilateral involvement.
