Cystitis glandularis mimics bladder cancer--three case reports and literature review

Kaohsiung J Med Sci. 2001 Feb;17(2):102-6.

Abstract

Cystitis glandularis is an uncommon proliferative disorder of the mucus-producing glands within the mucosa and submucosa of urinary bladder epithelium. We report three cases with gross hematuria on first presentation. Both sonography and computer tomography revealing bladder tumor and transurethral resection was performed in all three cases. Cystitis glandularis was confirmed by pathology. Short-term follow-up of sonography and cystoscopy showed good results.
