  • Title: [Transformation of glandular cystitis into bladder transitional carcinoma with adenocarcinoma areas].
    Author: García Rojo D, Prera Vilaseca A, Sáez Artacho A, Abad Gairín C, Prats López J, Rosa Bella Cueto M.
    Journal: Arch Esp Urol; 1997 Mar; 50(2):187-9. PubMed ID: 9206946.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The association of cystitis glandularis with primary bladder tumors is well known. A case of cystitis glandularis progressing to transitional cell carcinoma is described and the literature briefly reviewed. METHODS/RESULTS: We report on a case of diffuse cystitis glandularis in whom progression to transitional cell carcinoma with areas of adenocarcinoma had been discovered. Treatment was by radical cystectomy with urinary diversion. CONCLUSION: Extensive and diffuse cystitis glandularis can be a potentially malignant lesion. Patients with diffuse cystitis glandularis should have a regular cystoscopic follow-up for early detection of progression to a bladder tumor.
