“…The associated bladder diverticula probably acted as a providing site for chronic infection. Although etiology of the present case remains unclear, it appears that XC may be associated with chronic inflammation as previously postulated [5].…”

Xanthogranulomatous cystitis (XC) is a rare benign chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. We report a patient of XC managed with long-term antibiotics and augmentation cystoplasty. A 50-year-old man presented with urgency, frequency, hematuria and lower abdominal pain. Investigations revealed small capacity bladder with diverticula and cystoscopy showed inflamed bladder with multiple small polypoidal growth that had histological findings suggestive of XC on biopsy. Patient was treated with augmentation cystoplasty and prolonged administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Postoperative course was uneventful and patient remains asymptomatic at 1-year follow-up. XC is rare entity of unknown etiology. Patients may be given a trial of long-term broad-spectrum antibiotics.

“…In reported cases, the etiology of XC was also proposed as urachal cyst or urachal remnant, or an abnormal host response to a malignancy that leads to chronic xanthogranulomatous inflammation. [3] In the presented case, neither urachal cyst nor urachal remnant was found. Pre-operative diagnosis was difficult to achieve due to the non-specific clinical presentation, while histopathologic findings were misleading indicating urothelial neoplasia of unknown malignant potential.…”

“…In the reported case, bacterial and fungal infection was excluded by histochemical stainings (Grocott, Warthin-Starry). Surgical resection is a curative treatment for xantogranulomatous inflammation [7], but in the presented case, a diagnostic biopsy alone was performed. Xanthogranulomatous cystitis usually involves the dome of the bladder, and in such cases, may be amenable to simple excision.…”

Xanthogranulomatous inflammation of the urethra and the urinary bladder is a very rare pathological condition characterized by a chronic inflammatory infiltration composed mainly of foamy macrophages, with the presence of multinucleated giant cells. In a clinical examination, it can mimic urinary bladder carcinoma. This report presents the extremely rare case of a co-existing xanthogranulomatous urethritis and cystitis in a 64-year-old woman with recurrent dysuria, and with the suspicion of malignancy - as indicated on the basis of a cystoscopic examination. The standard treatment of this disorder is surgical resection, but in the presented case, only a diagnostic biopsy was performed. Because of the persistence of clinical symptoms, a cystoscopic examination and biopsy was repeated three times in a two year period. There was no malignancy seen in the repeated biopsies.
