Abstract:
Bladder herpes is a very uncommon event related to herpes simplex virus infection. We report a 69-year-old man with 4-year history of bladder cancer who presented with dysuria and urinary frequency. Cystoscopy showed erythematous lesion of the bladder mucosa that was biopsied and revealed multilobed nuclei with eosinophilic intranuclear inclusions, and presence of intracytoplasmic vacuoles that were suggestive of bladder involvement by herpes simplex virus. Different bladder disorders have been associated with herpes virus, but spontaneous resolution generally occurs in 1-2 months.
