  • Title: Encrusted cystitis--an unusual cause of recurrent frank haematuria.
    Author: O'Sullivan O, Clyne O, Drumm J.
    Journal: Ir J Med Sci; 2006; 175(4):74-5. PubMed ID: 17312835.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Encrusted cystitis associated with malakoplakia is described in the literature as a rare condition characterized by the formation of calcified plaques adherent to or embedded in the bladder mucosa. AIMS: We present the case of a 51-year-old male, presenting with recurrent haematuria associated with minimal exercise. Despite normal ultrasound, IVP, two calcified lesions on his bladder were found on cystoscopy. Conservative management was ineffective thereby necessitating a curative partial cystectomy. CONCLUSION: We would like to illustrate/discuss this rare but problematic condition with gross and microscopic pictures.
