A Case of Polypoidal Cystitis Without History of Catheterization

Abstract

Polypoidal cystitis presenting without the history of bladder catheterization is rarely documented in literature and mislead to the diagnosis of papillary urothelial neoplasm. A 26 year old female came with complaints of lower abdominal pain, dysuria for 2 months and fever for a week. Imaging of the abdomen suggested multiloculated abscesses in suprapubic region with adjacent bladder wall thickening. Cystoscopy revealed a papillary lesion in the dome of the bladder. Partial cystectomy was done and microscopic examination confirmed the diagnosis of polypoidal cystitis.
