Abstract:
Cystic-glandular cystitis is considered as part of the urothelial pre-neoplastic proliferative abnormalities. This group includes atypical hyperplasia. Von Brunn's nidus, and cystitis cystica. They are a consequence of the changes experienced at the urothelium level in response to inflammation, irritation or carcinogens. Diagnosis is mainly based in the pathoanatomical study of the biopsy obtained following endoscopic resection. The signs and symptoms it presents are varied and show a clear relationship to distribution and extension of cysts. Treatment is based in the removal of irritative factors. Cystectomy with urinary by-pass may be necessary if required by clinical evolution.
