[Polypoid cystitis associated with glandular cystic cystitis]
Abstract
Objective: Polypoid cystitis and intestinal metaplasia are well-known lesions of the bladder.
Methods: We report the case of one patient with both lesions identified synchronically in the bladder.
Results: Although these lesions are not neoplastic, there are evidences supporting a possible degeneration of the metaplastic epithelium to adenocarcinoma.
Conclusions: The diagnosis of both lesions is histological and there are not clinical tests or image studies that could enable identification of the real nature of these lesions.
