Ultrasound findings in diffuse granulomatous cystitis in chronic granulomatous disease of childhood.
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a genetically inherited disease of childhood, which is characterized by repeated bacterial and/or fungal infections. The genitourinary tract is rarely involved. We report a case of CGD with involvement of the urinary bladder. Pertinent clinical and sonographic findings of this disease are described.
