  • Title: [Transurethral Resection of Necrotic Tissue in the Bladder Caused by Emphysematous Cystitis].

    Abstract:
    Emphysematous cystitis is a relatively rare form of urinary tract infection. A 72-year-old man with diabetes mellitus and long-term indwelling urethral catheterization was diagnosed with emphysematous cystitis. The clinical findings were resolved by conservatively managing the patient with antibiotics. However, cystoscopy subsequently revealed a yellowish-white soft tissue mass in the bladder, which was unlikely to be a bladder tumor. The mass could not be removed easily and frequently caused urinary catheter obstruction. We successfully removed this mass by performing transurethral resection twice. Through histopathological examination, the mass was identified as necrotic tissue comprising bacteria, fibrin, and suspected bladder mucosa.
