Abstract

It has been iterated that cases of primary amyloidosis of the prostate gland, seminal vesicles as well as ejaculatory ducts are not common and in view of this pathologists, urologists, and oncologists should have a high index of suspicion for the aforementioned three lesions Primary amyloidosis of the prostate gland, seminal vesicles, and ejaculatory ducts had tended to be diagnosed incidentally based upon microscopy histopathology examination of specimens of the prostate gland, seminal vesicle and ejaculatory duct obtained after the undertaking or prostatectomy or during examination of specimens of the prostate gland that had been obtained from prostate biopsies taken during the assessment of the prostate gland to exclude prostate cancer related to raised levels of serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) or abnormal digital rectal examination findings of the prostate gland and or seminal vesicle or at times radiology imaging of the prostate gland and pelvis might reveal features of the prostate gland, seminal vesicle and ejaculatory duct area that look abnormal or irregular which would necessitate the undertaking of radiology image-guided biopsies of the lesion.
