Amyloid of the seminal vesicles. A distinctive and common localized form of senile amyloidosis

P Pitkanen, P Westermark, GG Cornwell 3d and W Murdoch

Amyloid deposits were found subepithelially in the seminal vesicles of 34 of 209 consecutively studied men. The incidence increased with age and was found in 21% of men over 75 years. This senile seminal vesicle amyloidosis (SSVA) is a localized disorder, and the amyloid substance has unique histochemical and immunochemical properties not shared with any other amyloid described until now.
