Abstract: Primary amyloidosis of the genitourinary tract is uncommon, and
isolated invasion of the glans penis is exceptionally rare Degos et al. (Bull
Soc Fr Dermatol Syphiligr 68:159, 1961). We report a case of localised
amyloidosis of the glans penis in a 40-year-old presenting as an asymptomatic
penile mass which changed after 10 years prompting treatment. We believe this to
be the longest interval recorded between clinical occurrence and histological
diagnosis of primary penile amyloidosis.
