Endoscopically we observed like cotton lesions in trigone area, unidentified, underwent to transuretral resection as unique treatment, with adequate response and no recurrence; pathologist report was amyloidosis of the urinary bladder. There are no reports in the national literature like that. We present this rare case, and review the world literature.
