Resumen

La Amiloidosis De Las Vesículas Seminales Es un hallazgo frecuente en las autopsias, aumentando su incidencia en los individuos de más edad. A pesar de su frecuencia es muy raro que sea sintomática. Presentamos un caso de amiloidosis localizada en las vesículas seminales, sintomático, con hemospermia y dolor suprapúbico, que se diagnosticó mediante biopsias transrectales ecodirigidas. Su presencia obliga a descartar una amiloidosis sistémica. El aumento del tamaño de la vesícula seminal por el depósito de amiloide puede confundirse con una infiltración neoplásica.

Abstract

Amyloidosis of the seminal vesicles is a common finding in autopsies, with increased incidence in older population. It is usually asymptomatic. We report a case of symptomatic localized amyloidosis of the seminal vesicles, with hemospermia and suprapubic pain. Diagnosis was achieved through ultrasound-guided transrectal biopsy. Systemic amyloidosis must be ruled out through proper evaluation. Seminal vesicle enlargement secondary to amyloid deposit may be misdiagnosed as carcinomatous invasion.
