“…Calcification is not an uncommon occurrence in the bladder. Many of the reports in the literature are of cases that have been diagnosed on abdominal X-ray 11,[16][17][18][19] but have heterogeneous aetiologies on histological and microbiological investigation. For example, some of the reported cases of alkaline encrusted cystitis in the literature are associated with transitional cell carcinomas 12 .…”

“…However, these cases highlight the fact that the presence of calcified slough in a bladder biopsy should always raise the possibility of an underlying tumour, and that treatment of any supervening infection may result in the amelioration of symptoms 12 . Calcification may also occur after schistosomiasis infection 19 and tuberculosis 17 . We believe that this secondary calcification, when not associated with a urea splitting organism, does not warrant the diagnosis of alkaline encrusted cystitis.…”

Alkaline encrusted cystitis is a rare inflammatory condition of the bladder which has been reported sporadically over the past 80 years. It is caused by infection with urea splitting organisms leading to the deposition of inorganic salts on to the surface of the bladder. We present three cases of alkaline encrusted cystitis. In two cases the encrusted area was associated with foci of malakoplakia. The third case occurred in a patient who had received chemotherapy for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. To our knowledge, these are the first cases of malakoplakia associated with alkaline encrusted cystitis. These two conditions have a number of clinical and aetiological similarities, and may have more in common than has been previously thought.

Alkaline encrusted cystitis is a chronic inflammatory condition. It is rare now because of appropriate antibiotics. It is a challenging situation with regard to its diagnosis and management. We are presenting an interesting case of alkaline cystitis post transurethral resection of prostate. The management includes careful acidification of urine, curettage of calcified material, and appropriate antibiotics.

Alkaline Encrusted Cystitis

Abstract: SUMMARY A case of alkaline encrusted cystitis is reported not only because of the rare tuberculous etiology but also because of the presence of multiple calculi impacted in the encrusted bladder mucosa.
