Neodymium:YAG laser treatment of cystitis glandularis.
We report a case of severe cystitis glandularis of the entire bladder, which caused a large retrovesical mass and bilateral hydronephrosis. Treatment included whole bladder neodymium:YAG laser therapy, a technique not previously reported for this extent of disease. The etiology, diagnosis, treatment and malignant potential of cystitis glandularis are discussed.
