Two patients are reported with secondary amyloidosis in whom renal biopsy disclosed massive amyloid deposition with exclusively extravascular localization. In one case, autopsy showed selective amyloid deposition in the vessel walls of most examined organs. In both patients, the clinical presentation consisted of subacute renal failure without proteinuria. A possible reduction of renal perfusion, secondary to a depleted blood volume in one case and to pharmacological inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis in the other, could enhance renal dysfunction in both patients, who, on the other hand, previously had mild renal failure. The clinical presentation of renal amyloidosis basically depends on the distribution and severity of amyloid deposits. Vascular localization represents an uncommon pattern of renal amyloidosis, generally associated with chronic renal failure with minimal or no proteinuria.
