“…The patient did not develop side effects due to cyclophosphamide such hemorrhagic cystitis, which may be confused with urological GPA relapse. 5 Some presentations of GPA relapse with clinical manifestations as dysuria or hematuria, must be distinguishable of from cyclophosphamide long-terms side effects. 2 Careful follow-up and monitoring of basic laboratory tests (regularly complete blood cell counts and urinalysis with urinary sediment testing) may prevent adverse effects of this treatment and minimize their impact.…”

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is an antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated; vasculitis affecting small vessels and mainly cause upper and lower respiratory tract and renal involvement. Urogenital involvement is extremely rare and poorly described in the literature. We report herein a case of a 46-year old immunocompetent patient presenting with recurrent urinary tract infections and bladder retention with incidental findings of sinusitis, and pulmonary mass revealing GPA.

“…Prostatitis is reported in about 12-37% of patients with urogenital involvement of GPA. GPA can involve the prostate gland causing acute obstruction with the potential to recur rapidly after surgical treatment [35]. Testicular vasculitis is observed in up to 36% of patients [34].…”

Background: Vasculitides are specific inflammations of the blood vessel wall that can take place in any organ system of the human body. They may occur as a primary process (primary systemic vasculitides, PSV) or may be secondary to another underlying disease. In general, in association with the specific type of vasculitis, affected vessels vary in size, type, and location. In the following scoping review, we present clinical characteristics and manifestations of PSV with reference to the genitourinary system. Materials and methods: A non-systematic search of the relevant literature was conducted using three electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science) up to 29 October 2021. Results: Urogenital manifestations of PSV are infrequent, with the most commonly reported findings as prostatic or testicular involvements. However, almost all other organs of the genitourinary system can be affected. Conclusions: Because of the clinical heterogeneity and non-specific symptoms, the proper diagnosis of PSV is often delayed and constricted. Fast identification of urological manifestations of vasculitides is essential in implementing appropriate therapy and avoiding unnecessary, harmful, and invasive surgery.
