Cystitis glandularis.
We present 12 cases of cystitis glandularis which fall into two distinct groups, one characterized by hematuria and the other by urinary tract infection. We can produce no clinical evidence that this disease is premalignant, but emphasize the necessity of histology to exclude malignancy since, macroscopically, the condition is indistinguishable from mitotic changes. We also describe the association of cystitis glandularis and pelvic lipomatosis.
