Urethral amyloidosis is rare. Clinical presentation includes hematuria, obstructive urinary symptoms, urethritis-like symptoms, urethral discharge, or a palpable penile/urethral mass. The diagnosis is made by urethro-cystoscopy and biopsy.Case Presentation: We report the case of a 38-year-old man with a medical history of recurrent urinary tract infections, urethral discharge, and a palpable bulbar urethral mass. Urethral biopsies confirmed the urethral amyloidosis. The treatment was endoscopic urethral dilatation.Conclusion: Urethral amyloidosis is a rare condition and a challenging diagnosis. Urethroscopy is the best method for diagnosis. Biopsies should be done to exclude malignancy. PB - https://www.ejmcr.com DO - 10.24911/ejmcr/173-1549270214 UR - https://www.ejmcr.com/?mno=29603 ER -
