Cistitis folicular: Aportación de un caso y revisión de la literatura

Abstract

de señal tras gadolinio intravenoso es un signo fiable en la detección de estos tumores y lo diferencia de otras estirpes tumorales (2-5). El realce tan marcado se justifica por la intensa vascularización de este tumor y por la cantidad de tejido estromal presente (6). CONCLUSIONESLa RM testicular ayuda a establecer un diagnóstico preoperatorio preciso del tumor testicular de las células de Leydig y debido a su escasa frecuencia de malignidad, contribuir a realizar una orquiectomía parcial (7). CISTITIS FOLICULAR. APORTACIÓN DE UN CASO Y REVISIÓN DE LA LITERATURA.

Follicular cystitis in a dog: First case report described in Brazil

“…Follicular cystitis is a rare inflammatory disease that leads to non-specific symptoms in the urinary tract (Somvanshi et al, 2012;Sul et al, 2014;Ediz et al, 2017). In humans, the disease mostly affects adult females (Marsh et al, 1974;Blanco et al, 2007). Ediz et al (2017) states that the disease should be particularly considered in women over 50 years old with a recurrent history of urinary infections and hematuria.…”

“…In a study carried out by Marsh et al (1974), human follicular cystitis affected 35% of patients with chronic UTI and, although the etiology of follicular cystitis has not been fully elucidated, it is known that inflammatory reactions are dominant. This exposure to chronic irritation within the bladder is considered an important factor in the disease development (Blanco et al, 2007;Ediz et al, 2017).…”

The Use of Radiotherapy in the Management of Follicular Cystitis Refractory to Conservative and Surgical Management

“…Microscopic follicles can also be found in the absence of cystoscopic or gross abnormalities. 2 A recent publication has shown that FC can be detected cytopathologi-cally in urine specimens. 3 Histologically, numerous plasmacytic cells and lymphocytes with lymphoid follicles scattered within the bladder mucosa and submucosa are seen.…”

“…These are classically described as well-developed lymphoid follicles containing germinal centers with surrounding lymphocytic collars at regular intervals in the mucosa. 2,3 The overlying urothelium may display mild atypia or metaplasia. 4 …”

“…2 Although a causative agent has not been clearly identified, FC is frequently associated with prolonged or repeated urinary tract infections. Salmonella associated cystitis has specifically been implicated.…”
