“…It may be associated with the chronic inflammation of the urachal diverticulum [9], with a cyst [3] or with adenoma [6]. Predisposing factors are also a chronic infection induced by the Gram-negative or anaerobic bacteria typical for urinary tract infections [5] or an infection that comes about after tubal ligation [13].…”

Xanthogranulomatous inflammation of the urethra and the urinary bladder is a very rare pathological condition characterized by a chronic inflammatory infiltration composed mainly of foamy macrophages, with the presence of multinucleated giant cells. In a clinical examination, it can mimic urinary bladder carcinoma. This report presents the extremely rare case of a co-existing xanthogranulomatous urethritis and cystitis in a 64-year-old woman with recurrent dysuria, and with the suspicion of malignancy - as indicated on the basis of a cystoscopic examination. The standard treatment of this disorder is surgical resection, but in the presented case, only a diagnostic biopsy was performed. Because of the persistence of clinical symptoms, a cystoscopic examination and biopsy was repeated three times in a two year period. There was no malignancy seen in the repeated biopsies.

“…[1] Twenty-seven cases have been reported in the literature, with the following clinical characteristics: Median age of 42 years (range, 16 to 76 years); no sexual predilection (13 cases have been of females); and the majority of lesions were located in the bladder dome (18 cases). Most cases are associated with aurachal remnant (17 cases).…”

Extensive xanthogranulomatous cystitis mimicking bladder cancer

et al. 2014

Xanthogranulomatous cystitis (XC) is a rare benign disease of unknown etiology. A 39-year-old female presented with 2 month history of urgency, dysuria, lower abdominal mass. On physical examination a hard hypogastric mass was present fixed to the rectus muscle. Computerized tomography (CT) abdomen showed heterogeneous enhancing mass arising from the anterior bladder wall with infiltration of the overlying parietal wall. Cystoscopy revealed extensive growth involving the entire wall of the bladder. A biopsy showed cystitis with focal areas suggestive of urothelial neoplasia of unknown malignant potential. Suspecting bladder cancer, we proceeded with radical cystectomy with ileal conduit. Histopathology revealed cystitis cystica with XC of the entire bladder. This is, to our knowledge, the first time that a case has been found to be so extensive with infiltration of the parietal wall and second time that radical cystectomy has been performed for XC.

“…Hematuria (microscopic or gross) is present in about a quarter of the patients (6/25), whereas abdominal or pelvic pain is present in 40% (12/25) of patients. Moreover, an abdominal or pelvic mass is identified in 40% (12/25) of patients [3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Table 1 provides a summary of these statistics.…”

“…Other XC cases have been successfully managed with surgical or endoscopic resection and recurrences have never been reported, even 15 years after initial resection [1]. Other treatment modalities that have also been curative are long-course antibiotics and radical cystectomy [8][9].…”
